Périgord Noir · Dordogne · since 2023
Seasonal rental in the heart of the Périgord Noir, Dordogne: old stones, pool, valley views, village five minutes away. Book direct.
La Combe d'Estève is an old Périgord Noir valley, once owned by a certain Étienne. Two stone gîtes have been hand-restored here, one in 2023 and the other in 2025. They look out over the Dordogne valley from an open garden, with a quiet pool in the sun and limestone cliffs as backdrop.
Here you feel far from everything, yet the village is never far. Carsac-Aillac — its Romanesque church decorated by Léon Zack, its local shops, restaurants — is five minutes away. The rest of the Périgord Noir unfolds all around: châteaux, caves, canoeing, cycle paths, gardens.

Restored 2023The historic cottage
The historic cottage of the valley. Open volumes, kitchen opening onto the terrace, quiet bedrooms, direct views over the countryside. Perfect for families or groups of friends.
Restored 2025Restored stone barn
The newest addition. A carefully restored 1840 stone barn, intimate longère spirit, natural materials and soft light. Perfect for a couple or a small group.
Outdoor pool available, loungers under the parasols, garden open onto the limestone hills and holm oaks. This is where the stay settles in: breakfast in the shade, an afternoon nap after a swim, an aperitif when the golden light arrives.
La Combe d'Estève sits above the old village of Carsac-Aillac: Romanesque church decorated by Léon Zack, bakery, grocer, restaurants, weekly market. Valley calm on one side, village life on the other — both five minutes away by car.
The gîte is a peaceful base for exploring, and coming back to rest your notebooks on the terrace table.
Beynac, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Sarlat — all the Périgord Noir heritage within half an hour.
Lascaux, Font-de-Gaume, Pech de l'Azé 1.5 km away — 100,000 years of history within reach.
The greenway along the Dordogne for gentle family rides, from the village to Sarlat.
A descent between cliffs and châteaux, one of the finest routes in the south-west.
Eyrignac gardens, farmers' markets, tastings of walnuts, foie gras and Bergerac wines.
Natural beaches on the Dordogne, cool waters, quiet spots for the afternoon.
« I want arrivals to be simple: drop the bags, breathe, look at the view. »
