About Villa Acacias

A lovingly restored Maison de Maitre in a spectacular elevated position overlooking the banks of the Dordogne river. The house was once home to a famous French minister. It
is set in 8000 square meters of garden in an area designated “of special interest” due to the close proximity of the canal with its series of ancient locks opening onto the river.

The house has eight bedrooms (6 double, 2 twin and 2 cots) with seven bathrooms making this an ideal rental for Family groups and friends.(An additional 2 double bedrooms are available in The Lodge: see www.villaacacias.com/thelodge) All mod cons fitted: gas central heating, telephone, satellite plasma TV, water softener, washer/dryer machines and fully fitted French style kitchen with large Falcon range style cooker, dishwasher and Wifi. There are multiple terraces overlooking the Dordogne river both for shade and sun which are a must for outdoor dining.
