Welcome to the holiday gites of Résidence la Gorce!

"If you would like to escape to a haven of peace and tranquility and enjoy daytrips, golf, cycling, chateaus, good food and wines then Résidence la Gorce is the place for you!"

The manor and the holiday gites have been totally renovated in 2003 under supervision of a Parisian architect.

The estate is ideally located for daytrips to St. Emilion, Duras, Eymet, Bergerac, Bordeaux, Libourne, Perigeux, Pomerol, Rocamadour, Sarlat, Angouleme, Saintes,Royan, la Rochelle and Biarritz.

The homes are set amid two acres (8000m2) of parkland surrounded by vineyards, with many fruit trees including apples, cherries, figs, peaches, pears, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, walnuts and chestnuts. You may pick and eat as much fruit as you like.

There are three luxury holiday homes set around a 16th century manor in a landscaped park:
  • A large single-storey home with private garden decorated with antiques.
  • A two-storey air-conditioned 17th century stone holiday cottage.
  • A single-storey air-conditioned holiday bungalow.
  • A large 12 by 6 meter heated pool with pool house and sun terrace.
