Le Mas

Le Mas is a 5-bedroom 16th-century stone farmhouse in the heart of the Périgord Pourpre, sleeping up to 10 guests in five en-suite bedrooms. Hidden at the end of a private country lane between Bergerac and the bastide villages of Monpazier and Beaumont, this 300 m² property combines authentic Dordogne heritage with the boutique-level comfort of the Dordogne Collection portfolio.

The estate sits within rolling countryside, fragrant gardens and orchards of fruit trees, lavender, jasmine and roses - a setting that invites long outdoor lunches, quiet mornings on the terrace, and warm summer evenings beside the pool.

Inside, the house retains its original soul: thick stone walls, exposed beams, and historic fireplaces, all carefully balanced with thoughtful contemporary interiors. The large family kitchen forms the heart of the home, and the spacious living room with wood burner provides a welcoming gathering space in every season. Each of the five bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom for hotel-level privacy, with air-conditioning on the upper floor and accessible bedrooms on the ground floor.

Outdoor living is where Le Mas truly excels. The private heated saltwater swimming pool enjoys uninterrupted countryside views, and the standout feature is a remarkable covered summer kitchen housed in a beautifully converted former tobacco barn - the kind of space where dinners stretch effortlessly into the night under atmospheric lighting. A pétanque court, multiple shaded relaxation areas, and outdoor games make the estate especially well suited to multi-generational stays.

Le Mas is recognised as a 5-star property by the French Ministry of Tourism (Atout France) and has been featured in The Times, the Guardian, and reviewed 9/10 by The Telegraph. Bergerac airport is around 35 minutes away by car, and the celebrated bastides of Monpazier and Beaumont are just minutes from the property.

For larger groups, Le Mas can be combined with the neighbouring private guesthouse Le Mazet, increasing total capacity to 12 guests across six en-suite bedrooms.

Ideal for: families travelling together, multi-generational holidays, groups of friends, slow-travel enthusiasts, and guests who value character, space and authenticity over resort-style polish.
