Description The Forge: Castillonnès

This 18th-century bastide presents French charm and country living from the heart of the Dordogne. You'll be just 3 kilometres from the shops and restaurants of Castillonnès, which a country footpath can reach. Meanwhile, other scenic towns in the area can easily be accessed by car. The garden is one of the home's best highlights, as it features a private swimming pool, an alfresco dining area and grassy lawns that lead into the surrounding fields and woodland. The setting inside is just as peaceful – especially in the bedrooms. Then with an open-concept main living area and kitchen, you can host sociable soirées as a group following days spent discovering the local wine region, castles and river activities.
