Monet is a characteristic French Cottage, perched on a hill in the
Dordogne Valley, just 10 minutes from the picturesque town Argentat. The
house was built in 1940 in a typical French way with many small windows
with shutters, a country style kitchen on the ground floor with French
doors to the terrace and a separate sitting room with a fireplace
upstairs. All the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and tastefully
furnished. The large dining table with comfortable chairs will invite
everyone to stay put for hours enjoying sumptuous home-cooked meals of
many local specialities and wines. The oak wood staircase brings you to
the first floor, where a cosy sitting room with a fire place is the
right place for a book, a movie or just a good c
onversation. The
bedrooms and bathrooms are on this same floor. On the 2nd floor is
another spacious bedroom with three beds.
Next door to Monet is Van Gogh; an identical
house, but with only two bedrooms.
Garden Monet has a beautiful terrace made of old sleets with an herb garden
and lavender, that attract hundreds of butterflies. Shade can be found
under the Catalpa, with her enormous heart shaped leaves. Steps take you
down into the shared garden with the swings, the boules area, badminton
net, table tennis and the salt water swimming pool. The pool has been
safely fenced off and has loungers, umbrellas and a picnic table on the
terrace. If you need to get out of the sun on your terrace you can find
is ample shade close to the stream, the Glane that flows along the
garden into the river Dordogne just after 100 meters.
