About this property
Once a humble country barn, the beautifully restored Maison Bella Vita now welcomes up to 4 guests with refined comfort, combining farmhouse charm with contemporary flair, only a short drive from Eymet. Designed for relaxed living, it is the perfect choice for a couple, friends or a small family seeking a restful escape.
Inside, the heart of the home lies in the spacious kitchen, where rustic beams meet modern finishes. A large central island invites slow breakfasts and casual evening drinks, while the open-plan living and dining areas, complete with exposed stone walls and wood-burning stove, offer a superb space to unwind. There’s also a cosy TV snug for movie nights and even a running machine for those who like to stay active. With full air-conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, modern comforts are always within reach.
The ground floor double bedroom features a king-size bed and open ensuite shower room, while the second double bedroom upstairs exudes warmth, space and character, with its beamed ceiling and gorgeous ensuite complete with bath and walk-in shower.
Outside, the days stretch out across grass and wide open skies. The private pool glimmers in the sun, surrounded by loungers and there’s a shaded dining terrace that’s perfect for barbecues or evening aperitifs as the light fades across the fields.
Set on a country lane just 15 minutes from the bastide town of Eymet, the location blends Lot-et-Garonne tradition with easy access to daily delights. Explore the market squares of Miramont-de-Guyenne and Lauzun, dine beneath the timbered arcades of Eymet or discover hidden vineyards and hilltop villages that dot the Lot-et-Garonne and nearby Dordogne. With Bergerac just 45 minutes away, the wider region’s beauty, wine and rich heritage are all within reach.
Whether you're sharing afternoons by the pool or setting off to explore the surrounding countryside, Maison Bella Vita offers an idyllic base for a French escape defined by authenticity, comfort and charm.
Set along a country road surrounded by farmland and gentle hills, Maison Bella Vita enjoys a picturesque setting in the Lot-et-Garonne, close to the Dordogne border. Just 15 minutes by car from the charming bastide town of Eymet, this is a place where golden-stone villages, pretty vineyards and the rhythm of rural French life come together in perfect harmony.
Nearby, both Miramont-de-Guyenne and Saint-Pardoux-Isaac, each less than a 10-minute drive, offer everyday essentials, from bustling supermarkets to cosy cafés and restaurants. Look out for the Monday morning market in historic Miramont-de-Guyenne before enjoying a nature hike beside Lac du Saut du Loup. Lauzun (10.5km) is another pretty village not to be missed nearby.
Crossing the Dordogne border, the medieval streets of Eymet (13km), with their timber-framed houses and pretty central square, are home to an array of restaurants, artisan shops and weekly markets, including a lively night market in the height of the summer.
For a deeper dive into the region’s heritage, you’re ideally placed to explore a constellation of other bastide gems: Issigeac (30km), Monflanquin (50km) and Monpazier (40km), all boasting rich history, atmospheric architecture and vibrant local culture. Marmande (25km) is worth visiting for its renowned market (showcasing the regional speciality - tomatoes) and laid-back riverside charm.
Wine lovers are spoilt for choice here. The vineyards of Duras and the Périgord Poupre offer leisurely tastings in picturesque châteaux. Further afield, you might venture to the prestigious appellations of Monbazillac, Sauternes or even Saint-Émilion for an unforgettable day amid rolling vines and historic cellars. Meanwhile, Bergerac (38km) makes a another wonderful trip with its medieval old town, riverside walks and a thriving food and wine scene.
