Le Mas Combolongue

About this property

Set amid 15 acres of glorious Dordogne countryside, Le Mas Combolongue is a beautiful estate exuding French character and high-end style. Dating back to the late 17th century, guests will fall in love with the charming courtyard, mature gardens with palm trees and idyllic swimming pool with its summer kitchen.

This historic estate comprises four individual dwellings, all lovingly restored with a great eye for detail. Starting in the main house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, (on ensuite), the kitchen is stunning with its central marble island, high-end appliances and pretty French doors opening to an elevated terrace for morning coffee or evening drinks. Sit back on the gorgeous sofas in the wood-beamed living room or relax in the cosy TV lounge.

The Barn offers a further two bedrooms and features soaring ceilings and split-level design, creating a sense of space and elegance across the split-level living and kitchen space. French doors spill onto the courtyard and its dining terrace for long meals on warm summer evenings. In the Goat House, sloping ceilings and soft light add charm to a separate twin bedroom and bathroom whilst the sixth bedroom can be found in the newly renovated Garden House with its kitchen corner and en suite shower room.

Make the most of the wonderful grounds whether relaxing beside the private heated pool and sun loungers, preparing delicious lunches in the poolside summer kitchen, or tasting local wine as you soak up the ambience of the courtyard.

Just 7km away, the bastide town of Villefranche-du-Périgord offers a captivating glimpse into medieval life. Its cobbled lanes, arcaded market square and the gentle toll of church bells create an atmosphere of timeless charm. Discover the Chestnut and Mushroom Museum, browse the weekly markets brimming with regional produce, or set off on woodland walks through the enchanting Périgord Noir.

For memorable excursions, explore the impressive Château de Bonaguil, indulge in Sarlat-la-Canéda’s renowned cuisine, or enjoy wine tasting and heritage in Cahors, a historic town beside the Lot River.

Whether you're sharing leisurely summer meals or seeking an authentic retreat, Le Mas Combolongue offers a setting where every element encourages you to unwind and fully embrace the character of southwestern France.

Located at the end of a country lane, just 7km from the enchanting bastide town of Villefranche-du-Périgord, this historic estate is ideally situated in one of the Dordogne’s most scenic corners, near the borders with Lot and Lot-et-Garonne. A small nearby village/hamlet just over five minutes by car offers a local restaurant.

Villefranche, established in the mid-13th century, still brims with medieval character, from its cobbled lanes and arcaded square to the impressive Gothic church of Saint-Etienne. On Saturday mornings, the 14th-century covered market buzzes with stalls showcasing regional delights—especially the seasonal prized chestnuts, mushrooms, and ceps that define the area's gastronomy. The Chestnut and Mushroom Museum also offers an engaging look into these local specialities.

Nature lovers will relish the network of walking trails weaving through ancient forests and gently rolling countryside. The nearby Dordogne and Lot valleys are a patchwork of slow-moving rivers, historic bastide towns like Monpazier, Monflanquin, and Belvès alongside postcard-perfect scenery.

For riverside adventures, enjoy canoeing in Siorac-en-Périgord or take in panoramic views from Domme’s cliff-top perch. The fairytale village of La Roque-Gageac and a wealth of elegant châteaux and gardens nearby add to the area’s timeless allure.

Just 45 minutes away, Sarlat-la-Canéda tempts with golden-hued architecture, lively markets and gourmet fare. Heading south instead, travel under an hour to uncover the riverside charm of Puy-l’Évêque or savour Malbec wines in the vineyards surrounding the historic town of Cahors.
