WELCOME TO
Domaine de Bonnefond
You can enjoy all the luxury you could wish for on this French country estate, with its swimming pool and tennis court! This centuries-old holiday home is completely restored and offers modern comfort in a historic setting.
This property is in the middle of the Périgord Vert, the gastronomic heart of the Dordogne and a hilly, forested region of France with many streams, rivers and castles. The 52 hectare private estate has woods, meadows, and a small lake and offers endless opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy themselves. The impressive 12th century country house was once a monastery. Its large rooms are divided across three floors and are connected to each other by a beautiful stone staircases. These, and the exposed stone walls, serve as reminders of the rich history of the building. Even the outbuildings, such as the dovecote ('pigeonnier'), the stables and the bread oven, echo an atmosphere of times gone by.
When you hire this holiday home, you get exclusive use of all the facilities. These include a private swimming pool, a tennis court, a covered terrace (with an open fire), a playground for the children and a large games area in the old stables. Even with a group of 12 people, you'll still have plenty of space for peace and quiet and privacy in one of the many beautiful rooms, or in one of the many beautiful outside areas of the estate.
The lovely open plan kitchen is equipped with a fantastic oven and a large dining table where you can all eat together. A door from the kitchen leads to the courtyard and the covered terrace where you’ll, no doubt, spend a lot of time together enjoying a lovely glass of wine or a delicious outdoor lunch with the whole family. As you relax reading a book, you'll hear the soft sounds of people playing tennis on the tennis court and the laugh of the children enjoying themselves on the playground equipment.
The village of St. Saud Lacoussière is on the River Dronne and is situated close to the picturesque and historic village of St. Jean de Côle and Thiviers (the capital of foie gras). The surrounding woods, rolling hills, and beautiful views will tempt you to enjoy stunning walks or bike rides.

Great (family) house, very atmospheric, complete, cared for and charming. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings, walking and game (on private property), sports and games, leading to competitions and fun. Really had a fantastic week, actually we should have booked 2. We would love to come back.

Our second trip to Bonnefond. From the moment you arrive it delivers!! We have had an amazing week... tennis, waterpolo, enjoying the games room, even the French Prince of Delaire was a hit! Fantastic evenings spent by the fire pit. Midnight swims that will never be forgotten. Thanks for helping 3 families make memories. We will never forget this wonderful place.

What a wonderful house for a family holiday - so much to do, so much space and so well equipped for 3 generations age 4 - 70+. Our favourites - the swimming pool (of course), the tennis court, the fishing lake. We gathered blackberries and apples and made a crumble and pie.
Translated from Dutch - August
Thank you very much for this wonderful week in your beautiful domain! We really enjoyed all the comfort of the house. Tastefully and practically decorated, our compliments! We gratefully used the swimming pool, all the toys, the tennis court, we created a badminton court and played for hours. Under the porch we had delicious dinners. Not to forget the herbs, vegetables and fruit from your garden.

What a wonderful week we've had here! A beautiful house, fantastic pool, tranquility! Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and all the luxury in and around the house.
Translated from Dutch
Normally I don't mind going home after a nice holiday. But now I do. What an intensely wonderful place this is! I like to stick myself behind the wallpaper here... We laughed and had such a great time. From runaway pheasants, shopping at Cathy and René in the vegetable garden, endless games and lots of reading and taking naps. I can't wait to come back.
