THE HOUSE The Villa Marcelle is situated high above the River Dordogne secluded in orchard, 1 km from Tremolat village centre. The villa is approached down a green lane, winding through the steep wooded hillside above the village. Set in a half acre of orchard, the villa has panoramic views. Steep steps lead down to the house that may be difficult for some guests.

The Area

The region of the Dordogne is rich in history, culture and cuisine. It is also blessed with some of the most beautiful countryside in France. Whatever your particular reason to visit the Dordogne; the Medieval towns, prehistoric sites, recreation facilities, or for just the ability to walk in unspoiled countryside, you will find sufficient of each for a lifetime of visits.

The local area contains the cities of Bergerac, Sarlat and Perigueux and other towns of immense historical and architectural interest. The smaller villages are worth visiting for their diverse charm. The countryside around Tremolat is hilly, wooded and very under-populated by UK standards. It provides the atmosphere redolent of a former age.

Tremolat

The village of Tremolat is the quintessential French medieval village (it was the setting for Charbrol’s film, "Le Boucher"). The square has on one side the gaunt towered 15^th century church that was used for both worship and protection. The village has a range of shops including a café/tabac, boulangerie, alimentation and a choice of restaurants including the renowned village logis. The Basin Nautique International provides a variety of water sports including skiing, swimming and canoeing. Cycle hire, tennis, riding and golf are also available from the village. Supermarkets are established in the local town in Le Bugue (12 km distance).
