Truffe Noire in Bordeaux, Aquitaine

Truffe Noire Self-Catering

Just ten minutes from the Dordogne river at the edge of a hamlet is this pleasant French abode. Perfect for a family or group of friends looking to relax and explore the surrounding region, this home has that country je ne sais quoi. The terra-cotta floors perfectly complement the lush gardens that can be overlooked from lavender covered terraces. If you tire of the pool, head out to the local village market or spend a day kayaking the Vézère or Dordogne rivers. Sample black truffle in Périgueux and bring some back to the house to sprinkle on a gourmet dish prepared by a local chef.

Home truths:
* Wi-Fi can be spotty
* Car hire is handy for exploring all that the surrounding region has to offer, although the village of Saint Alvere is walking distance
