200-Year-Old Stone House In Lovely Medieval Market Village - Dordogne SW France

If you're looking to experience the feel of life in a French village, this is where you want to be. Our house is located in the Dordogne department of southwestern France, in a charming medieval village called Issigeac. The nearest airport and train station (in the town of Bergerac) are just 15-20 minutes away.

Named the best French village for foodies by National Geographic (2022), Issigeac is a market lover's dream. The village is home to a FANTASTIC weekly market on Sunday mornings (so it's highly recommended you start your rental on a Saturday). Just steps from our front door, you can get pretty much whatever you want to eat or drink. The market spills out from the central village square into the winding streets with fruit & vegetable stands, stalls that specialize in cheese, roast chicken, fish, oysters, olives, foie gras, crèpes, paella, sausages...

The village has a full range of shops: cafes, restaurants, bakeries, small grocery stores, an organic food shop, butcher, and a wine shop.

Our house is renovated but still simple. On the ground floor, the eat-in kitchen is surrounded by warm exposed stone walls, with exposed oak beams on the ceiling. On the first floor up, there are 3 bedrooms: (two with double beds, and one with bunk beds). The entire top floor is a sitting area with a double sofa bed and single day bed.

Outdoors, relax in our grassy courtyard garden - a rarity in the village.

We are open to having as many as 8 people, but we recommend no more than four adults, as there is only one bathroom.

Please contact us for a 20% discount if you stay 2 weeks or more.

Golden week in Issigeac
Our group of three adults and one tween just had a golden July week at this lovely house in Issegeac. The house is a charming mix of old and new, with thick stone walls and wooden beams straight out of Shakespeare, accompanied by modern conveniences (including fast wifi) that made our stay a comfortable one. It was well stocked with kitchen and bath supplies, and we had so much fun shopping at the outstanding Sunday farmer's market and making ourselves delicious meals to eat out in the garden. The top floor has a nice selection of English language books along with toys for kids. The village itself is unbelievably picturesque. We spent delightful moments wandering the winding passageways and frequenting the local artisans and restaurants. There is a boulangerie, grocery, bio store, pharmacy, etc. all easily walkable from the house. Issegeac also makes a perfect home base for exploring the Perigord region. Within about an hour's drive, we were able to explore prehistoric caves, Medieval towns, castles, and Renaissance chateaus, canoe down the Dordogne River, taste wine at several vineyards, and see Roman ruins. We highly recommend spending a holiday at Joanna, Lee-Ann, and Doug's warm and welcoming house in Issegeac!

Perfect place to explore the Dordogne area
We spent two weeks at this perfectly located house in Issegiac. It had everything we wanted and needed and what lay beyond - in the village and the whole region - had some much more. The property is cosy and comfortable but extremely well equipped - if so inclined you could return home to cook every meal (although the restaurants right nearby and in every town make it a hard choice). The Sunday market in Issegiac is the best - the worst thing about it is that you will always buy more than you can eat. We were only two but the house would be great for more - an ideal family space. It's outdoor space is perfect to have a morning coffee, read a book or give kids a place to play. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

The honey of our honeymoon 💛
Everything was absolutely magical!! The property was stunning!!! The kitchen was easy to navigate with all of the necessities! The location was a dream, it truly felt like a travel back into the past. The locals bars and restaurants were wonderful to explore. The community was incredibly welcoming, and we were able to get advice on all of the best foods/activities in the surrounding areas. The host were extremely thorough with their welcoming booklet with all of the details of what to do in the area. The slow life of the village was the perfect recharge that we needed. Can’t wait to return!! Side note: the house itself was incredibly clean and smelled amazing!!

“Slice of Paradise”
My sister and myself just had the “experience of our lives” living in Issigeac for two weeks and enjoying the 200 Year Old Stone House. So glad we met Lee-Anne who told us about the house and the VRBO site. We were instantly enchanted with the village and each day we met more friends and cherished more memories. It is a warm and cozy village and the house is so authentic and inviting. Our days were spent touring the lovely countryside and coming back to “our paradise “ relaxing in the lovely yard and dining at the restaurants in town. We had tears in our “eyes as we said Au Revoir”” to our friends and village life. We will be back someday as our karma found this paradise and Lee-Anne.💕

Perfect spot
We spent a week in Issigeac in October visiting the Dordogne region. Issigeac is the perfect mix of local restaurants and shops…and has a SUPERB farmers market on Sunday mornings. The house is an absolutely charming period house that has all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed early evening drinks in the private courtyard and cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. There is also a small grocer/convenience stort a two-minute walk from the house that is open all week. We had diner at L’Atelier and la Brucelière and would recommend both if you want to experience excellent French cuisine. Be aware, however, that many businesses are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the off-season, which is the price you pay to avoid the summer crowds. This is a charming spot in a historic village in a fabulous region of France. Loved our stay!

Character galore in this charming house and village!
The property was exactly like in the pictures and description-all of the character and charm combined with the modern conveniences we wanted. The kitchen was really well supplied and everything was clean and ready for our arrival. We especially loved the private courtyard!! The location couldn’t have been better, within the village and with all that lies around it to explore. We were able to do and see so much, everything was accessible from here. The hosts were super helpful and nice! We found the guidebook in the house a terrific resource when choosing places to visit. We’d love to return someday!

Perfect getaway in the Purple Périgord region!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed in Issigeac, the house was a perfect spot to not only relax in, but it's location was wonderful to explore the surrounding region, and a bit further a field (such as Lascaux). The garden was an oasis - a verdant, rosemary scented walled area that was just right for an early morning cup of tea. I even took a nap on the "grass" one day! We appreciated the kitchen and facilities from laundry to a dishwasher. The location was super convenient for exploring the village, the Sunday Market did not disappoint and boulangerie provided fresh baguette and patisseries! The selection of restaurants and cafes for a small village were outstanding and the artsy shops and boutiques were surprisingly sophisticated. All in all, a great stay - hope to be back one day and really get to know the region better!

I wanted to find a place to stay for a while (one month) to do some reading and writing. The house in Issigeac was perfect. In fact, if it hadn't already been booked, I would have preferred to spend yet another month. House is full of character, yet easy to keep tidy. Everything works. Village is charming, friendly and has all one needs. Will definitely think about a return visit.

A perfect home with mix of history and modern conveniences in a small but amazingly vibrant village
The home itself is wonderful. Lots of room for our family of 5; everything you could need from the fully equipped kitchen to the upper floor with amazing books and games. Mike and Joanna have taken the time to provide detailed information about the running of the house, and all that is happening and to be enjoyed in the village and area.With this information we had some of the most excellent adventures. Our first day we were thrilled with the huge market, followed that evening by a village wide music festival! Despite being a small village, there are great shops for food, wine, restaurants and local artisans. Whether you're looking for a home base for adventures or a sanctuary to simply sit in the courtyard and read a book, this home will be just what you need.

Wonderful stay in a fantastic village
We spent 10 days in Issigeac , a most beautiful , charming medieval village just south of Bergerac . Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area where we travelled not only locally but as far as Bordeaux , St Emilion, Duras, Domme and Toulouse . Issigeavc had al the facilities required , great local restaurants a couple of nice bars as well as a fantastic Sunday market where people came to from all over . Our house we rented was right in the heart of the village amongst the narrow lanes , traditional stone walls but modern kitchen and bathroom and as well an outdoor walled garden area - perfect for a glass of wine ...or two! Issigeac was perfect in every way and gave us a taste of French rural village life away from the pace of big cities , would recommend it to any one wanting a holiday in a wonderful French village .

Village et location agréables mais attention aux prestations annoncées !
Notre séjour ne s'est pas passé comme nous l'aurions souhaité car toutes les prestations annoncées n'étaient pas disponibles: pas de connexion internet (il n'y avait pas de box et pas de 4G dans la maison ni d'ailleurs quasiment aucun réseau), pas de machine à laver non plus. La propriétaire a oublié de nous en informer et pour ce désagrément nous a dédommagé. Mais les vélos et canoë proposés dans le descriptif sont inutilisables car ensevelis sous des fientes de pigeons et de poussière, le parasol sert de nid pour les guêpes et il n'y a pas non plus de parking à proprement parler car c'est un parking municipal à 100m de la maison (la maison n'y a pas de place réservée). Il y a aussi dans le descriptif des éléments tel que sèche-cheveux ou grille pain que l'on a pas trouvé. Les placards étaient remplis de nourriture si bien que l'on ne pouvait pas ranger nos courses. Malgré tout ça, location calme et village sympa. Assurez-vous juste que toutes les prestations proposées sont bien disponibles.

Très beau village
Issigeac est un très beau village pittoresque, excellent point de départ pour découvrir la région. La maison est "dans son jus", mais cuisine et salle de bain sont bien équipées. Lors de notre séjour, internet et la TV ne fonctionnaient pas (il faut sortir de la maison pour avoir du réseau), nous avons profité de la bibliothèque anglophone et des DVD à disposition. Environnement très calme mais proche des commerces.

La maison est très bien placée dans le village, proche de tout et en même temps au calme. Elle est rustique mais agréable à vivre. Le jardinet est petit mais bien orienté. Il y a absolument tout ce qu'il faut pour la cuisine, les draps, les serviettes etc. Tous les commerces sont présents dans le village, pas besoin de prendre la voiture pour les courses. Le marché du dimanche est un vrai régal. Parfait!
