Les Amandiers is an 18th Century manoir which was totally restored in the early '80s to a very high level of finish and subsequently purchased by us in 1988. The property has oodles of character having been furnished with period furniture and decor that is in keeping with times gone by rather than a contemporary style.

The apartments are just across the courtyard from the manoir, each with their own terrace. These all sit within a 35 acre plot that includes a swimming pool, walled garden, orchard, lake, tennis court and cut grass areas. The property is surrounded by an area of ancient forest in an elevated position above the village of Villamblard, with views over the Dordogne.

There are different places to dine as groups and a cosy sitting room, library and games room in which to kick back and relax if the weather's not up to being outside enjoying the peace and tranquility. The property doesn't have any air conditioning but we do supply fans, and the shutters help keep the sun at bay during the warmest periods.

Villamblard is a pretty village just a short walk down the hill. It is well served with an excellent bakery, convenience store, post office and pharmacy. Additionally, you are within easy reach of many picturesque towns and cities that are ideal for days out; Perigueux, St Emilion and Bourdeilles, to name just a few.

We are available to help you with planning your trip and the on-site guardians will be on-hand to help during your stay should you need any assistance.

Bookings are usually taken in the summer on a weekly basis for the main house and apartments but at other times of the year we may let the main house only and for shorter periods. Please enquire if this is of interest.
