Superb stay at the Moulin Rouge
We stayed 5 nights the last week of May. Highly recommended!!!
The house - a beautiful 500 year old stone house, was in the owner's family for 200 years. Updated and very well kept.
The ground - The minute you enter the place you feel like you had stepped into a magical place. The pictures don't capture well the beauty of the estate. It is truly incredible. The house sits on a beautiful 6 acre lot with gorgeous garden and a beautiful natural pool which is part of the Dordogne River. Across the pool there is a beautiful grassed slope with trees at the very top. Underground spring brings fresh water into the pool.
The room - We stayed in the Rosalie room. Nicely decorated in a Country French fashion. On one side you have a Queen size bed and on the other a seating area with a sofa and a small table. There is an in-room white tiled bathroom with a shower. The room floor is also white tiles. All very clean and well kept.
The owners - Rosette and Misha are the nicest hosts we have ever had! They are so welcoming, warm and friendly couple, a true pleasure to be their guests. I just can't say enough about how wonderful they are. They both are very happy to help out with trip suggestions and any help that you might need. Both speak French; Rosette also speaks English very well.
The breakfast - Out of this world! Everything was fresh and delicious! Rosette is a great cook! We got a wonderful selection of breads, home made jams, home baked goods, eggs, cheese, fresh fruit, coffee.
The price - We found it to be very fair. Very good value for the money.
The nearby area - there is a bakery and a small market a few steps outside the BnB. There is a bigger supermarket 1-2 mins by car.
The fresh local (traveling) market is held just across from the BnB every Tuesday. If you have not been to one yet - go.
While at Cenec rent a Canoe, it is a great way to enjoy the area. If you want to take it easy, pick the route which goes with the stream. read more
