Beautiful home in a charming town

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The house was immaculately clean and very well appointed. The property manager was very responsive. The information provided about the house, the town and the region is very comprehensive. All is very well organized and made our visit so much easier. Highly recommended rental.

Ideal medieval village home in Périgord

Another lovely stay in Maison de la Paix. House is clean, comfortable for a group, and well- equipped. Charming and friendly village. Good location for many interesting day trips. Good selection of local restaurants. Kitchen is set up for efficient meal prep. Hope to return again.

Perfect in every way

This large and commodious maison is perfect for any group, but particularly for larger parties. All rooms are spacious, bright, and nicely appointed. The kitchen has everything needed for those who enjoy cooking. The garden and garden furniture add a further dimension, as does the large living room fireplace. We loved the location at the edge of an active and gorgeous village - quiet at night, but handy to all amenities. Lastly, we were well looked after by Brenda and her team. In every way, this was a perfect home from home - we stayed a month, and would have loved to have stayed longer.

AMAZING!

Our time in Issigeac was wonderful! We stayed in the house for one month and we didn't want to leave when it was time to go back to the States. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything necessary to cook large family meals. The property manager was very friendly and helpful on the few occasions we needed something or had a question. The town was so friendly and we loved the local markets and festivals. Bergerac was only 20 minutes away and easily accessible for the times we wanted a visit a larger town. But after a busy day in Bergerac or Bordeaux, it was always nice to come "home" to Issigeac and relax in the beautiful living room in front of the fireplace. I highly recommend this house if you want to be surrounded by beauty and friendly people.

A Wonderful (French) Life

My wife and I absolutely adored our stay in this lovely (and super well equipped) home! And our guests agree. Starting with the flawlessly simple arrival process to the checkout, everything was as good as advertised. What else can I say? But let me add a bit more. Beds comfortable, furnishings well planned out. Went to the market and need a food processor to make that special dinner? It’s there. Want to check out the local antique shops but it’s raining? Umbrellas under the back stairs. Just want to relax with a book and glass of local wine? Take a three minute walk to the SPAR and choose from their selection of local wine or a short drive to one of many local vineyards and then choose a book from the library in the house. Don’t want to read? How about watching that old Pink Panther DVD. And, boundless things to do and see in the area, great walks and/or short drives to discover countless villages with markets of their own and sights to see. And when in town stop by the patisserie a few doors away (a really great place). I guess I’m done.

Very charming home in a great location within the village. We visited during the coldest time of year so we didn’t get to enjoy the courtyard, however it definitely would have added to the charm of the property. The beds are on the hard side, very French, but the home was well equipped, which made cooking very easy. Would definitely return.

Angela, the house manager was eager to answer any and all questions re the house. The owners, John and Louise, provided superb communication and well curated local information. This is a perfect spot for exploring the Dordogne!

Can’t wait to go back!

Maison de la Paix is a stunning home with tons of character and charm. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location, in the town of Issigeac, can’t be beat. All the essentials are steps from your front door. John and Louise are dedicated hosts and Brenda gave the warmest welcome. We can’t wait to return!

Our 4th visit to Issigeac and the best property

The property is extremely spacious including the bedrooms. It is also near a parking area. it is extremely well fitted out and has everything you might possible need, particularly for me a printer which was very usefull. The house is about 50 meters from a good boulangerie, which is great in the mornings.

Ideal base for exploring Perigord

Beautiful, well-furnished, well-equipped, warm and comfortable home in small medieval village. House “lived” large and offered plenty of spaces for socializing and for private time. Most sights 60-90 minute drive but Issigeac is a lovely village full of friendly people when you want a day off from exploring. Countless wonderful restaurants and farm markets. Both the owners and local house manager are very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property and hope to return - there’s a lot to see in the region!

Once Upon a Time.....

On a scale of 1-10, this property and our experience in the area deserve a 15! The photos and info online totally represent the home so that while there you genuinely feel transformed to a by-gone time of subdued elegance. The property owner was easy to contact; communication was prompt and helpful. This was truly a highlight of our 2019 journey in France.

outstanding

This house is truly outstanding. For a 13th century house, it is incredibly comfortable and provides all the amenities that 21st century travelers could want. The wifi for example was the fastest that we encountered in France. The village itself is absolutely charming an offers shops that can easily provide all basic needs (except on Mondays); you'll have to go to the Supermarche in Bergerac. Location is ideal for visiting most of the tourist venues in the Perigord. For us , a great vacation and leisurely respite from the insanity of DC.

Absolutely Amazing

We stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful time. The property is exactly as advertised, beautifully restored, clean and comfortable, fully equipped, perfectly located and very difficult to leave. We explored the countryside and surrounding villages based on John and Louises recommendations and knowledge of the area and really we could not have wished for more from a vacation. From the moment we were greeted by Brenda to the moment we sadly closed the front door for the last time our stay was exceptional. Issigeac is a lovely little village very easy to wander around and even though we were there off-season we found enough open for dinners etc. The surrounding countryside is truly beautiful and the driving around from village to village very easy on good roads. I had to tear my wife away from this fairy-tale location at the end of our stay and only managed to pry her hand off the door handle with the promise that we would return one day soon.

Even better the second time around

We returned a year after our first stay for a repeat experience and the same 5 star review as last year applies!! We actually started to feel a little bit special when the owners of the Le Relais de l'Ancienne Gare (our absolute favourite restaurant) greeted us with French gusto on our arrival and even Christian at the local bar seemed to recognize us. So the Maison is as wonderful as ever. Clean, comfortable, spacious and convenient and the area of Issigeac and surrounds speaks for itself. We spent many happy hours cycling around this most beautiful countryside and returning to the Maison for a rest and cocktail before wandering around this ageless village. We have been fortunate to have travelled to many parts of the world but I have to say I am not sure if this little corner of France can be beat. We are smitten and will try our best to return once more. Kudos to John and Louise for having the vision to invest in this paradise and thanks for sharing it :)

Maison de la Paix is probably the loveliest

My husband and I have rented many top - of - the - line homes over the years and Maison de la Paix is probably the loveliest. My husband and I, our nephew and his wife and their two children enjoyed a wonderful, memory filled six nights at Maison de la Paix. All of the four bedrooms are elegant; three have en suite baths. The kitchen is modern and has every amenity. The dining room is elegant but comfortable. John, the owner, put together a booklet which he will provide to all renters. The booklet tells you everything you need to know about the house, the village, the neighboring villages, the nearby chateaux and everything you need to know for day trips. The village is like something out of Disney, especially when it is lit up at night. Rather, Disney must have copied Issigeac to create the French village for Beauty and the Beast.

STUNNING!

It's hard to review perfection. It's hard to say more than the other reviewers have already said. Honestly, everything was perfect, generous, comfortable, stylish, warm, well-thought out. The photos are accurate, but maybe don't even do it justice? Comfy bed, crisp linens, a fully stocked kitchen for cooking, wine upon arrival, maps, a medieval village, bakery, and Sunday market right outside your door. Easy free parking. Hiking trails nearby, as well as the town of bergerac and many winery tasting options to study the wines of the region. The regional food? Duck, duck, goose! Enough to get your fill for the next year. Kind, thoughtful and helpful owners and the lovely Brenda to check us in. It doesn't get better than Maison de la Paix. We were just 2 but the house is generously proportioned to be comfy for 8. Thank you John, Louise, and Brenda, for offering such a breathtaking respite! We loved it! Hope to see you in California some day!

Spacious house with everything you need

This was our second stay at this house although we have been coming to Issigeac since 2009. We were only 3 people although we had expected another 2 guests who were unable to stay because they had covid. The house is very spacious and can easily accomodate 8 guests without feeling crowded. It is also extremely well equiped including a printer which was useful for me. You can easily walk to all the local restaurants. Unfortunately the small but lovely traditional boulangerie accross the street has closed down, so you have to the other one about 5 minutes away
