Le Moulin de Connezac is nestled in the Nizonne valley in north Dordogne, close to Mareuil en Perigord.
A historic, unique and charming holiday home in the Perigord Limousin National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The River Nizonne flows underneath Le Moulin de Connezac, also around the garden.
It is a place where you come to rest and unwind, then be restored by nature. We are adjacent to water meadows, there are walks direct from the Mill into the woods and up the hill, discover the lovely mosses, mistletoe and fungi, take your favourite tipple and sip on the hill overlooking the valley as the sun sets. It is tranquil and a haven for local birdlife. We have deer and boar, if you are lucky to spot.
We have bikes to cycle the pretty country lanes in search of chateaux. Summer brings the sunflower fields. There is a kayak if the water level is good.
The fire pit on the terrace is fabulous for late night sing-alongs, watching the stars and having good chats.
We have boules, badminton and croquet and some fishing rods.
A perfect destination for a family and friends to get together, recharge, focus and take the energy of nature.
The forest and river are in a natural eco system, preserving the beauty. We encourage the birds, dragon flies and wildlife to feel safe here.
