Gite villages in Dordogne
You have decided to do some rural tourism in the Dordogne
(or a lot, it’s possible too!), but between hotel, rental or campsite, your heart is unsettling… Which accommodation to choose? What if you tried a concept that combines the comfort of one, the autonomy of the other and the conviviality of the last? It exists, but yes! It’s renting a holiday cottage, but not just any holiday cottage: in the village!
How exactly does a holiday in a gite village work?
The key concept is family spirit. This spirit is a two-way street: we promote family vacations, and we are committed to doing it in a family way! Most gite villages are run by couples, or couples with their children. Vacationers are truly our guests, before being customers. We look forward to welcoming them and meeting them, as we would expect friends… It’s ultimately like a guest room, plus a cottage: conviviality, warmth, with real independence since each family has its own separate accommodation. of others. Just like on a campsite, children make friends very quickly, and have much more fun than if they were in an isolated holiday home or in a hotel. Because we ensure that everyone can meet and appreciate each other in good conditions. Some weeks the mayonnaise sets so well that at the end it feels like a happy family celebration! What are the strong points compared to a classic holiday village? Reception, with a capital A, is the priority, whatever the destination! It is made to measure, by people who are passionate about their profession and their region. Each welcoming couple offers quality services, with great rigor. A single objective, simple and well-defined: that you have the best possible vacation. This requires excellent information, beautiful aquatic equipment, comfort, great services. The vast majority offer at least one swimming pool. The managers of these structures are all independents who have come together in an association, with one thing in common: authenticity. Finally, our estates have another point in common: nature, omnipresent, whether it is a countryside, mountain, or seaside destination. Nature, therefore the calm and beauty of the landscapes. Note that some villages also welcome groups, for example for hiking accommodation, or for family reunions. This collective accommodation loses none of its comfort and qualities.
It’s a really cool concept, where can you find it?
Holidaymakers who’ve tried it once come back for more! So as our facilities are located all over France, they can try out other destinations. You’ll find us mainly in the central south, specifically in Nouvelle Aquitaine, Occitanie and Auverge Rhône Alpes. You’ll also find us in Corsica, Alsace, Brittany and Normandy. You’ll find a map of the relevant départements on the
Villages de gites website. A paper catalog is also available, so don’t hesitate to ask!
I want to go sightseeing in Dordogne, how many gite villages are there?
SStaying in the Dordogne in a gite village is an excellent idea, because it is really a good way to discover this very rich territory, and also very dense with vacationers in the summer. It is the assurance of being accompanied in your discovery, whether of Périgord Noir, or of Périgord Vert, or even of Purple, or of White! And it’s the pleasure, after a day of visiting the most tourist sites, to return to the calm of your chalet or mobile home. And that’s good, there are many gite villages in Périgord! For all tastes! Exactly eighteen structures, 15 of which are located in the heart of Périgord Noir, a destination of choice for lovers of history and gastronomy, such as “Combas, village of gîtes” in Saint Crepin Carlucet, or “Le village des sources” in Hautefort or “Le Hameau du Sentier des Sources” in Sarlat. Our village is located in the major site “Triangle d’Or valley of the Dordogne” labeled by the Aquitaine Region. This Golden Triangle is made up in particular of the communes of Beynac, Castelnaud, La Roque Gageac on the banks of the Dordogne, and… Domme of course where Les Ventoulines are located. And once the Dordogne will no longer have any secrets for you, right next door, Quercy, also has members of the association!
