Villa Puy Glény
5 Bedroom Country House with Private Pool in the Dordogne Valley
Sleeps max. 14
Villa Puy Glény is a characteristic French country house, 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. The house is divided in two independent units, Van
Gogh on the left with 2 bedrooms and Monet with 3 bedrooms on the right
side, which makes it a perfect house to rent for 2 or more families
together; A big villa with a private pool for all, but privacy for each
family as well. The units can be rented individually or together. It has
a lovely garden of 2400 square meters bordering a stream, which flows
into the River Dordogne after about 100 meters. From the terrace you
have a great view into the valley and the remains of a 12th century
monastery.
The terraced garden
Monet has a beautiful south facing terrace made of old sleets with herb
garden and lots of lavender, that attract hundreds of butterflies. Shade
can be found under the Catalpa, with her enormous heart shaped leaves.
The terrace is large enough for two garden tables and 14 chairs in the
shade for typical French lunch with family and friends. The terrace of
Van Gogh faces south west and is separated of Monet by a honeysuckle
grown wall for privacy. An old Linden tree gives ample shade when you
need to get out of the sun. From here you enjoy a lovely view from the
terrace into the garden overlooking the remains of the 12th century
monastery in the valley. Steps take you down into the 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.
