Les gites de La Ferme de La Tour is a beautifully situated, ensemble of honey coloured stone buildings dating back to the 16th century, close to Sarlat and in the heart of Perigord Noir, Dordogne. La Ferme de La Tour once served as the farm, belonging to the neighbouring historical chateau. Surrounded by magnificent countryside, and a network of pretty footpaths, it has been lovingly restored to provide spacious, high quality, self catering, holiday cottages (gites) and a large chlorine free swimming pool.
Situated in the heart of Perigord Noir, we are in the most scenic region of the Dordogne, in an area known locally as the golden triangle. The location is ideal for the perfect self catering holiday with all of the most beautiful sites and scenery of the Dordogne and Lot on our doorstep. We are close to Sarlat (10kms) yet situated in a rural position with surrounding grounds of woodland and meadow. The breathtaking views over the Dordogne valley will overwhelm you with a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Within the hamlet of La Tour, we are just two minutes from the pretty village of Sainte Nathalene with a bar, hotel, depot pain (bakery outlet), restaurants and a small shop.
The historical town of Sarlat-la-Caneda, with more listed buildings than any other town in Europe, is just seven miles away. Sarlat has an all year round twice weekly market and a wonderful choice of restaurants, cafes and bars. An array of street entertainment and a full calendar of events makes Sarlat a visit you should not miss when in the Dordogne. There are also numerous chateaux to visit, caves to explore and pretty market towns to meander through.
The area also offers a wide range of outdoor activities for all ages. These include walking, canoeing down the Dordogne river (an absolute must), golfing, inland swimming lakes and beaches, tennis, air parks, cycling, mountain biking, quad biking, para gliding, water parks, paint ball, karting, horse riding, hot air ballooning, wine tasting trips, etc etc.
Our self catering gite accommodation is available to let / rent all year round for holiday's in and out of season. All our houses / villas have full WIFI with good reception.
We welcome couples and families alike. Due to the stairs and the terrain we do not feel we can cater for children under five years of age, the elderly or the infirm. We do not accept pets.

The owner was very communicative throughout the booking process and next steps were always clear. After arrival, we were met with stunning views across the garden, a sparkling pool, a very welcoming patio and chairs to enjoy dinner on. Entering the gite, I felt that the pictures on the website matched perfectly with what we saw and experienced. It was spacious, charming and furnished very well. We had two nights of 80F+ nights, so having the fans around was great. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were pleased to see the TV had some English channels for the one day we take off to veg. The WiFi strength was strong throughout the property. The location was perfect- far enough out of town so as to not have traffic or tourists everywhere. Close enough that you could be in Sarlat within 15 minutes for some lunch. The gite was perfect for us and we felt welcome and comfortable. We were looking for something private and relaxing and got exactly that. The owner was incredibly accommodating and courteous throughout our visit. We will certainly be back and have been recommending this property to our friends and family since we returned home.Guest rating:
The gite is really well equipped, we had a warm welcome and lots of useful information about places to visit/eat/local market days can be found in the gite. The view from the gite is stunning. The wifi worked very well, no problem at all. There is plenty to see and do nearby and Sarlat market is certainly worth a visit. We would love to return and recommend this gite without hesitation.Guest rating:
Over the years, we have travelled throughout Europe and had missed France...seems like we saved the best for the last! Chris and Kate were wonderful hosts and extremely helpful in person when needed and with their "red binder" complete with information on all the local markets (and special parking directions for the Sarlat market) restaurants they have enjoyed and hiking trails from the gite (very appropriate to help burn off all the French cuisine we enjoyed). Le Fournil was very clean and turned out to be perfect for us in every way. Very comfortable bed with a bonus skylight for the stars. Great kitchen and shower!! The pool was appreciated after the hikes through the countryside. The location gave us the opportunity to explore many of the villages in the area and enjoy their hospitality, food & wine! We hope to return ... would highly recommend ... and already have!Guest rating:
