Vacation Rentals

Le Priolet was originally an 18th century priory that has been converted into a luxury, 4 bedroom villa, a stone's throw from the Dordogne River. Set at the end of long private driveway through neighboring vineyards, Le Priolet is a tranquil oasis with a swimming pool, gardens and private access to the river for swimming and fishing from our own dock. The villa has been carefully renovated with modern amenities and one-of-a-kind antiques, preserving the authentic beauty of the original architecture without sacrificing comfort.

The open plan gourmet kitchen and dining area for 6-8 people is warmed by a large stone fireplace, and opens up to a patio and outdoor dining area overlooking the river. You will spend many hours with your coffee/tea or a glass of wine, watching the river drift by. And when the weather is warm, we eat outside every meal. It is not uncommon for swans and other water birds to spend their days in the river by Le Priolet, watching us as we enjoy their presence.

The kitchen opens to a large double height living room with a second smaller dining or games table and it's own freestanding fireplace. A bluetooth speaker and drinks cart helps you set the mood.

The villa has 4 large bedrooms. The master bedroom is upstairs with a king size bed and ensuite bathroom. There are two bedrooms on the main level, one with a queen sized bed, and the other with two twin beds that can be separate or pushed together for another king size bed. These rooms share a large bathroom adjacent to them. The loft bedroom has a queen size bed and it's own ensuite bathroom. There is also a separate toilet off the living room. Extra sleeping room for 2 can be arranged in the large den with a pull-out sofa and a day bed.

Other amenities include, wifi, satellite TV, washer/dryer, ping pong table, bikes, canoes and kayaks.

Set your own pace with activities. You can spend your day with a book watching the river go by, or ...

On the tranquil end of the Ile Saint-Louis, this authentic French apartment offers the perfect home away from home for a family, two couples or even four friends with the enviable combination of a central location with easy access to all that Paris has to offer
It is a well-known adage that once you have stayed in an apartment, staying in a hotel has less appeal. Those who have had the good sense to spend time on the Ile Saint-Louis know this even better than most. Once the restaurants clear out at night the streets of the little village fall quiet and a late stroll down the main street of the island can be a solitary affair. In the morning only the shopkeepers and residents are up and about early. You can walk to the bakery and take your time making selections. You can walk by ice cream haven Berthillon and actually see inside -it’s usually and rightfully thronged with people in the afternoons. Having the Ile Saint Louis as your neighborhood is special indeed, and Ile St. Louis is the ideal Parisian flat to create an unforgettable experience in the City of Light.
In a classic building with elevator on the east side of the island, the apartment is spacious and sunny. There is an elegant entryway hall which opens up into the living-dining room area which is casually furnished with a mix of contemporary and antique pieces carefully chosen from the owners’ collections. The dining table accommodates six, and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing simple or more elaborate meals. The large master bedroom has elegant crown moulding and is richly furnished with an impressive armoire and chest of drawers. There is a king-sized bed and in-wall closets. The main bathroom has a tub with wall-mounted shower and curtain, with single sink and WC. The washing-machine dryer is also in this bathroom.
Downstairs is a second bedroom of identical proportions, with a king-sized bed that can be split into twin beds. Under the stairs is a quirky half-bath – a shower for people under 6’ and a sink. Occupants of this bedroom use a guest powder room near the entrance of the apartment. In addition to the two bedrooms, there is a comfortable library/den with large format television with a bevy of English language channels including all the main news channels. There is also a iPhone music player for your enjoyment.
Between the bewitching location, sunny spaces and sophisticated yet welcoming furnishings, Ile St. Louis has a lot to offer Paris novices and experts alike.
