For those seeking space, character and authentic charm, Maison Lescurou offers a relaxed and memorable Dordogne stay.
Maison Lescurou enjoys a wonderful rural setting within a 35-hectare estate (home to other holiday properties and the owners' residence) in the Vézère valley, the heart of the Dordogne. Surrounded by gently rolling landscapes, this is a place to truly unwind while remaining within easy reach of the region’s most treasured villages and cultural sites.
A restaurant is just a 3-minute drive away, while a local grocery store and café bar can be reached in just under 5 minutes by car. For a wider choice, Montignac-Lascaux (11km) is a short drive away, offering supermarkets, shops, café bars and restaurants, and a picturesque riverside setting by the banks of the Vézère.
The surrounding area is rich in charm and heritage. Other beautiful villages such as Coly-Saint-Amand (8km) and Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère (13.5km) invite leisurely exploration, both classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’. The Vézère valley is renowned for its striking natural beauty, with dramatic cliffs and peaceful waterways creating a truly memorable landscape.
History lovers will be captivated by the prehistoric treasures of the region. Les Eyzies (23km) is at the heart of this remarkable area, home to an extraordinary concentration of caves adorned with ancient formations and artwork. The nearby Lascaux caves, discovered in 1940 near Montignac, feature world-famous paintings dating back around 17,000 years, while the Vézère Valley itself is recognised as a unesco World Heritage site.
