Mirandole Martel Map ref: A6 Web ref: 448 Sleeps 6–8 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | Extra Mezzanine Bedroom | Small Party Rate*


Martel, situated in the Dordogne valley area of the Lot, is a fine example of a Gallic town full of life and exuberance. Historic stone buildings house restaurants, cafés and shops, with narrow streets leading to themain square where a beautiful coveredmarket place takes centre stage.Surrounded by undulating countryside through which the River Dordogne flows,Martel will no doubt appeal tomany. Just a short distance (2km) fromthis lovely spot,we came acrossMirandole, an eye-catching property which has been recently built in the local style.


Fromits elevated position,Mirandole enjoys far reaching views towards Martel and beyond. In fact, the owners loved the vista somuch that they designed the house to take full advantage of its situation. Internally, the ground floor is dedicated to the bedrooms and bathrooms whilst the open plan living /dining roomoccupies the whole of the first floor.Here, French windows frame the views and in the kitchen area, a window seat has been incorporated into the units.At one end of this spacious room,patio doors open on to the dining terrace.Fromhere, five steps lead down to the pool, itself positioned tomake themost of the setting and the sunshine throughout the day.


Throughout the house, a real sense of space and light has been achieved with tiled floors,pale pastel walls in the bedrooms, and a ceiling of double height in the living area.Modern bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable sofas and underfloor heating ensure your home fromhome comforts have not been forgotten.Outside, your time will no doubt be spent around the pool and dining terrace, although the rest of the grounds deserve exploration too.Covering half a hectare, they aremainly given over to woodland and have been left ‘au naturel’.


To one side of the property is a country footpath which takes you past fields andmeadows to the village of Baladou. It is one ofmany walks that can be enjoyed in this area, as well as other sporting activities such as canoeing on the River Dordogne (5km) and horse riding.Within easy driving distance, you will come acrossmany famous sites including the spectacular village of Rocamadour (21km), the fascinating caves at Padirac (28km) and the well known town of Sarlat-la-Caneda (an hour’s drive) in the Dordogne.Closer to home, a ride on the steamtrain that runs along the cliffs betweenMartel and St Denis will delight children and we are sure everyone will enjoy the summer evenings inMartel.
