My name is Amanda and I've been married to Derek for 38 years. Our principal home is in Hertfordshire where I work as a Chartered Physiotherapist and Derek as a painter and decorator. Our lives revolve around work, keeping fit, great food. our wonderful family and friends and time spent in France.. During the holiday rental period we reside in an apartment on the top floor of the property where we can ensure the comfort and well being of our guests. We had previously owned a house in the french Pyrenees. On route to our annual holiday one year, we stopped over in Monpazier. Seeing the village for the first time was love at first site and became the focus of our dreams to live there. Our vision was to find a house in a central location with a pool which had the wow factor. A tall order but walking into this beautiful house with its three meter high ceilings we knew this was the right one for us. A tidy but very antiquated property with wall coverings which took all the light, it was crying out for a makeover. Full credit goes to my husband Derek who for two years project managed the transformation of this house into three stunning apartments which definitely has the wow factor!

The property, ideally located for visitors seeking a base for touring the Dordogne and Lot region is situated in the centre of Monpazier, a beautiful historic 13th century bastide, one of the "Plus beaux villages de France" . There are shops, cafes, boulangeries, butchers, supermarkets and restaurants and the main square is home to a weekly market and an auditorium for plays and musical recitals The region boasts very nice Bergerac wines and the famous Monbazillac sweet wine made from grapes affected by the noble rot. There are dozens of vineyards with very reasonably priced delicious appellations east of Bergerac airport and the vignobles are only too happy to offer you a "degustation", a generous taste of their wine. The Dordogne is dotted with stunning chateaux and pretty villages, bustling markets and great restaurants. Tour along the river in a canoe or for the less intrepid a Gabarre boat. There is so much to see and do within an hours drive of the house. In the high season the surrounding villages host evening soirees with live music to dance to while market vendors serve up local food delicacies. Turn up with your own wine, plates and cutlery and enjoy a magical evening.
