Surroundings
Located in the hills of the Purple Perigord in a tranquil location, La Maison Forte is ideally situated to explore the many stunning bastides in the area like Montpazier or Montflanquin. Just 3km away is the medieval village of Issigeac, with its famous, bustling Sunday market, fabulous restaurants and artisan shops. Amenities include bakery, butcher, bank, pharmacy and local supermarket.
The beautiful City of Bergerac, on the banks of the Dordogne River, is a 15 minute drive away where there are large supermarkets and an international airport.
The last few years Maison Forte was used as a reknown Bed & Breakfast, but the new owners prefer to rent out the house as an independent self-catering luxury Manoir. You will never need to share the premises with anybody else other than those of your own company.
