Idyllic house by lake at the gateway to the Dordogne (Périgord)

Les Sources – a private lakeside escape in the heart of Southwest France Tucked away among rolling hills and ancient woodlands lies Les Sources: a former trout farm turned peaceful holiday haven. Set on 9 hectares of private land, with a sparkling lake nearly 5 hectares in size and two homes right on the water’s edge, this is the kind of place where time slows down.

The main house is spacious and full of character, with a large kitchen, cosy living area, multiple bedrooms, and sun-drenched terraces—always with that tranquil view of the lake close by.

Just a few steps away, the guesthouse offers two double bedrooms, a simple kitchen, and its own bathroom. A washer and dryer are available for all guests.

The property is always rented privately—just for your group. If you're coming with 8 or more, the guesthouse is included for an extra €200.

Want to explore the surroundings? You'll find a local bakery and pub just 2 km away, with charming medieval villages, castles and peaceful country roads perfect for walking or cycling. The historic Richard the Lionheart route passes nearby, ideal for a day out.

But in truth, most guests hardly ever leave the property. With swimming, reading, and doing absolutely nothing on offer, there’s really no need to.

Included: high-speed fibre internet, smart TV and a charging station for electric vehicles.
