"Les Mirabelles" im ländlichen Frankreich -

Les Mirabelles (ehemals Feigenbaum) - Diese Ferienunterkunft ist Teil eines alten Bauernhauses, das sich auf einem eigenen Grundstück von 1,5 Hektar befindet. Das Anwesen, das aus der Zeit vor der Französischen Revolution stammt, wurde geschmackvoll restauriert und mit allen modernen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet, ohne dabei seinen rustikalen Charme und Charakter zu verlieren.

Das Ferienhaus "Les Mirabelles" war der alte Stall, in dem Heuhaufen und Ochsen untergebracht waren, die die umliegenden Felder und Weinberge bepflügten. Jetzt zu einer charmanten, eigenständigen Unterkunft renoviert und mit den charakteristischen Holzbalken, Steinmauern und Fußböden versehen, die sich in der tiefen französischen Landschaft befinden. Das Ferienhaus überblickt den Garten und den Obstgarten, in dem die Hühner herumlaufen und auf Anfrage frische Eier liefern! Das Haus ist abgeschieden und vom Hauptbauernhaus getrennt. Es hat eine eigene Eingangstür und eine Doppeltür, die zum Garten führt. Die Gäste haben die private Nutzung des Swimmingpools.

Sie betreten das Haus durch die Haustür und werden mit einem offenen Wohnbereich begrüßt, der hell und luftig ist.

Es gibt eine Reihe von Spaziergängen - der bescheidene Bach Gardonette ist eine erstaunliche Route, die unweit von Monbazillac entspringt und sich dann in der Dordogne auf etwa 50 km verliert. Eine Reise, die sich zwischen Weinbergen, Sonnenblumen- und Getreidefeldern, Wiesen und kleinen schattigen Tälern mischt, die kleine Weiler oder Schlösser grüßen und dem Wanderer ein paar Überraschungen bereiten! Die Gardonette nimmt den Wanderer in eine andere Erfahrung.

Nach Saussignac gelangen Sie in ca. 15-20 Minuten auf einer alten Römerstraße durch die Weinberge. Gageac hat ein wunderschönes Schloss und den herrlichen Weinberg 'Clos de Vigne' - das Thema der meistverkauften Bücher von Patricia Atkinson - "The Ripening Sun" und "La Belle Saison".

Sigoules liegt inmitten der Weinberge, wo Sie eine Auswahl an Geschäften finden (Bäcker, Metzger, Lebensmittelgeschäft, Friseur sowie Arzt und Apotheke!|). Für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die eine aktive Pause im Freien wünschen, ist die Gegend bei Radfahrern sehr beliebt, da es viele ruhige Straßen gibt. Es gibt auch beliebte 3-tägige Kanutouren durch die Dordogne mit Camping. Golf (18-Loch) im berühmten "Chateau de Vigiers" - nur wenige Kilometer entfernt, gefolgt von einem ausgezeichneten Mittag- oder Abendessen in ihrem Restaurant. Tennis und Pferdericin sind unter anderem Sportanlagen zur Verfügung.

Die mittelalterliche Stadt Bergerac hat den ganzen Sommer über viele wundervolle Restaurants - nur 15 Autominuten von der Unterkunft entfernt. Saussignac, Sigoules, Eymet und Issigeac und andere lokale Städte haben Märkte, Konzerte und Ausstellungen mit viel zu tun und zu sehen.

Fig Tree Gite bietet Ihnen einen idealen Ausgangspunkt, um die Aktivitäten zu verfolgen, die Ihnen am besten gefallen. Die Unterkunft befindet sich auf einem 2 Hektar großen Grundstück mit typischen Bauerngärten und friedlich umherstreifenden Hühnern. Ein privater Pool, der nicht übersehen wird, bietet Privatsphäre für die Badegäste. Die Unterkunft ist voller rustikalem Charme mit Eichenbalken und einem Kaminfeuer. Es gibt ein offenes Ess- und Wohnzimmer mit angeschlossener Küche. Eine modernisierte Dusche / Nasszelle befindet sich auf der gleichen Etage. Ein Zwischengeschoss bietet Platz für 2 Personen. Der Fernseher bietet zahlreiche DVDs sowie Brettspiele.

A great break

We enjoyed our stay at Les Mirabelles. Jill and Marylene were good hosts. We enjoyed eating outside on the terrace, using the pool to cool down and we visited from Bordeaux up to Les Eyzies. Good location if you want to take a train and cycle, which we did several times, as Gardonne station is close by. Also lots of vineyards close by.

Relaxing

We had an amazing stay, Jill and Marylene were wonderful! They had a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding history in the area which was so interesting. We were left to ourselves and the gite was perfect. It had everything you needed, even some left over mosquitos spray which you will need being close to the Dordogne. The pool was welcome due to the heat and warm. You couldn’t wish for a more relaxing stay and lovely people.We visited Eymet and Montpazier two beautiful villages, with shops, markets and restaurants both recommended, but mostly stayed at the gite which says it all I think.

As seasoned travellers we both prefer a keybox and independent check in but if you prefer a personal touch then this is for you. At the time of our stay the lights in the main room didn't work, the WiFi was incredibly poor and this was not because of poor regional connection because roaming was excellent. The bed was the main issue though because it was terrible, so uncomfortable words fail me,, it needs sorting out.The pool was lovely and the owners worked hard to make it so, but it isn't as private as we thought it would be from previous reviews. The owners provided lots of welcoming touches and were very knowledgeable about the area.

Antwort von VrboOwner am 4. Aug. 2025
Firstly, this gite is completely self contained. I shall respond in order of the negative points made. Most visitors appreciate being advised of all amenities provided and how the key/entry system works. However this visitor did not want to listen as he clearly thought he knew everything (including the light system)! The lights work extremely well but it is a two-way system which he did not wait to have explained (leaving to fetch his luggage, saying he knew all that!!) No previous complaints received regarding the bed but this man complained he had just been diagnosed with chronic arthiritis so he may need a special medical mattress to accommodate his specific needs. He is also a particularly well built man. The pool is surrounded by beautiful trees and also screened from owners property giving complete privacy and not overlooked by anyone or neighbours. The gite has its own patio area, again completely private so we don't understand his version of 'privacy'. Regarding WIFI being poor - this visitor says 'roaming' was excellent but then it was poor !! Fibre optics were recently provided so we don't understand. However, during their stay we did suffer a couple of very violent thunderstorms - sorry I cannot control the weather! MY COMPLAINT is that this couple left the bed sheets badly soiled by sun-oil - occupiers clearly not showering after sun bathing - and the shower works perfectly ! I wish this couple well in finding other accommodation more suitable to their needs!

Highly recommended

The property has been renovated to a high standard and retains plenty of character, very comfortable and well equipped. It’s set in a picturesque rural location. Bergerac is a short drive away and there are plenty of super street markets to visit and chateaux if that’s your interest, or just relax by the lovely swimming pool. The host is really accommodating. Highly recommended.

Happy Holiday

Helpful host who adjoins the property so any issues easily resolved as they are on hand. Was very hot when we stayed and although fans provided it made sleeping in the mezzanine very warm. The pool was a welcome relief and kept spotlessly clean by the host who shut it down each evening and cleaned each day. Lovely welcome ‘basket!’ of wine, bread, pizza etc. great location to visit Saint Emilion, Bergerac etc and lots of fabulous markers. Would stay again

Relaxing stay in the Dordogne countryside

We really enjoyed our relaxing week in this lovely, well equipped gite in the French countryside. The accommodation is full of character and charm, and the garden is delightful. The pool is lovely and clean, and great for cooling off on a hot day. Jill and Marylene are both so kind and helpful, and there is a huge amount of information about the local area, and both French and English books to read if you have an idle moment. Situated in quiet countryside with easy access to great restaurants in Monestier and Queyssac - both highly recommended! A short drive to Bergerac too, which is an interesting old town.

We stayed for 3 weeks and loved every minute. The private patio / garden were perfect and so was the spotlessly clean and well maintained private pool. We have stayed in a lot of gites in France and this was up with the best. The welcome pack and figs from the tree in the garden were an amazing bonus. Jill and Marylene were lovely hosts and gave us some interesting background information to the area and advice when asked. We really enjoyed our stay at Les Mirabelles and would 100% recommend it.

Beautifully renovated gite set in attractive gardens - spacious and very comfortable place to stay

We have had the most wonderfully relaxing holiday in this lovely gite. It was as comfortable as being at home but with sooo much more ! The private pool, secluded gardens and sun trap patios were a delight - along with the resident chickens ! Our hosts Jill and Marylene were outstanding - nothing was too much trouble and their excellent company was most appreciated - we like to think that we have come away as friends. We definitely hope to return soon - in fact when we returned home and woke the next day we wished we were still at the gite! Thank you again for such an enjoyable stay 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Les Mirabelles. The two hosts, Jill and Marylene, are great people and are happy to provide tips on trips and markets in the region. Thank you again for that! The accommodation is very nice with great facilities. We used the sofa bed on the ground floor. Everything is there that you need for a relaxing holiday.

A charming gîte in the wine country

We had a very nice relaxing stay in Les Mirabelles. Jill was a gracious host and even supplied some staples in the fridge on our arrival as well as a bottle of wine! The gîte is beautifully decorated with lovely antique furniture and dinnerware and a well equipped kitchen. The area has a lot of villages with wonderful markets on different days of the week as well as being close to Bergerac. Jill has an amazing, well organized, amount of information for the area. A good restaurant in the area is the Grappe d’Or where we enjoyed the specialty du Périgord. A very nice stay and highly recommend!

Tranquil Oasis

Les Mirabelles was such a joy to stay at. We felt so spoilt by the peacefulness and tranquility whilst lying by the beautiful pool which is surrounded by French lavender and beautiful roses and in the 30° heat, the pool was the perfect temperature to cool us down. Jill & Marylene were incredible hosts. They were always around if we needed anything or advice on where to go but we had such privacy that we never felt intruded on. The gite was immaculate and had everything we needed from corkscrews/bottle openers (vital) to tea/coffee and all the basics. We would 100% recommend them to anyone we know & wouldn’t hesitate in booking again! Thank you again for the most wonderful stay!

Superb Gite Home from Home

Jill greeted us with such a warm welcome to her beautiful gite. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and relaxing in the heart of the countryside. The gite was gorgeous and had everything we needed for a lovely chilled stay. Lots of little extras that made our stay. Bath Robes, Slippers, Good quality bed linen, plus more. Jill supplied us with some home made jam and also fresh eggs from the Hens. Both were a nice surprise along with our welcome pack. We also met Jill's friend Marilene who supplied us with some maps for walks around the area and recommendations for places to visit. This holiday has been made so special because such a special couple of people took time out to ensure we enjoyed the full week. It was a holiday to remember for all the right reasons.

Time to relax

A well appointed gite attached to the owners property. The patio area is small accommodating a 2 person garden table and 2 loungers. The pool is shared (potentially) with the owners and is kept immaculately. The property is beside a road which was busier than expected and surrounded by established hedges which kept it private but meant no view. There were shaded areas in the garden if the heat was too much. The welcome pack was excellent and we received occasional gifts of eggs and other produce. There was a wealth of information available for walks, markets etc. Perfect for a couple who want some time out to chill and relax.

Thank you for your very kind comments. It was a pleasure to meet such a charming couple. Due to railway repairs currently being undertaken, it was unfortunate that traffic was being diverted to our road, which was a little busier than usual ! The swimming pool is never used by the owner except when the guests are not on the premises (and then rarely!). Our aim is to be as discreet as possible when guests are present.

The perfect gite.

We have been able to spend 3 weeks at Les Mirabelles - having visited it previously when it was Fig Tree Cottage. The gite is the perfect place to rest and unwind, and has all you need for a self catering holiday. The 'icing on the cake' is the private swimming pool, where you can cool off with a relaxing swim. The new owner, Jill, was the perfect hostess. Jill was always on hand if needed, but also respected our privacy. Her welcome gifts were much appreciated, as were the frequent supplies of fresh eggs and tomatoes. Les Mirabelles is ideally situated for visiting this part of the Dordogne. We especially enjoyed Issigeac, Monpazier and Eymet. There are lots of places for tasting the local wine. The winery at Sigoules is a must - great wine at great prices. Thank you Jill. You and your gite are very special. We hope to see you again next summer. Amanda & Brian Winterburn Morecambe, Lancs.

The rustic property, in a rural location, is outwardly very pretty. Inside, it’s a little gloomy and cluttered for our liking although I suppose that’s to be expected from a property of this nature and a feature which I’m sure will be appreciated by a lot of visitors. The pool is cleaned and prepared for use daily, which was appreciated. It should be noted however that it’s not ‘completely’ private, as per the description, and can be viewed easily from the owner’s adjoining property. There was no time, while using the pool, when we saw the owner and I’m sure they do their best to provide privacy but this isn’t quite the same as it being ‘completely’ private. The part of the description I take greatest umbrage with is that it’s air conditioned (along with an icon of an air conditioning unit). This property is NOT air conditioned and I don’t consider the provision of two modestly sized fans a replacement for actual, bonafide air conditioning. I did point this out to Jill but my thoughts were dismissed out of hand. I find this description at best to be clumsy, and at worse, misleading. We stayed for nine days, the first two being over 30C, and the mezzanine was unbearably hot overnight. Mercifully, the remainder were low 20C and the place was fine. Prospective renters should be aware of this and be mindful of the expected weather at the time of their proposed booking!

I will respond to this critic in theorder he has written. 1. The property is 300 yrs old - an ancient farm built in very thick stone - which is cool in summer and warm in winter. Most visitors consider it to be charmingly rustic and full of character. The pool is kept in excellent condition, being thoroughly cleansed daily. It is surrounded by tall trees and hedges and kept private from owner's french doors at all times by screens (also giving privacy to owner). 2. With regard to air conditioning - in attempting to provide 'commercial' type air conditioning we were informed that more elaborate air conditioning in residential accommodation was no longer permitted due to NOT being 'eco' friendly. The fans we provide are good and strong, the same as I have in my own home. It has to be said that this visitor stayed at a time when the weather was a record high - the hottest I have known in 10 years. 3. This visitor 'complained' to me about the mosquitos (for which we provided anti-mosquito lamps) implying it was something I was responsible for (again due to extreme heat in Sth.West France) - so sorry Sir, but I have no control over nature and the weather!! MY complaint is he 'dislocated' the handle and lock on the french doors, simply because he hadn't securely closed the adjacent door. This required a locksmith to repair at a cost to myself. I should add that I have NEVER received such a guest or complaint as this before and urge prospective guests to regard previous reviews.

Amazing, quiet, peaceful and perfect

We had just under two weeks here and it’s got to be the best time we have had on holiday for a long time. The gite. Nice and clean and cool when the temperature got to over 35. It has everything you could need and more. You can instantly tell that a lot of thought has been put into making guests comfortable. The pool, well what can you say apart from perfect for a dip all day and even late evening. After the drive from home it was nice to just jump right in. Jill. Jill and her French friend (Marielen)are amazing nothing is too much for them to help with. even when the car has an issue, they got us to the local garage that night. They also provided some loverly eggs from the hens and a couple of beers and a bottle of wine on arrival. Also having their local knowledge on what to do and where to go is something you can’t beat. Having not been before we both feel like we have left two really good friends in the Dordogne. If you are looking for a place to stay, look no more it’s perfect in every way. Private pool, location, local knowledge and a relaxing atmosphere all lead to you not wanting to leave. THANK YOU both for an amazing break and yes, we will be back for sure.

Château chat?

The property and general location are what we were hoping for during our stay. However, for those driving an electric vehicle: the nearest charging station is a 45-minute walk away and there is no charging option onsite. Plan a hike around your charging time. The property description lists chickens that roam free in the yard with eggs on request - we didn't see any chickens, but did see at least thirty cats roaming the property during our stay. The host mentioned most are feral and is part of a broader feral cat issue across France (I cannot speak to the truth of this claim). However, anyone staying should be prepared to interact with cats - seeing them, smelling their waste in the yard (beside the outdoor dining space), and, at least in our case, having one jump onto the bed through the roof window and racing wildly around the gite at 2am. When we brought this to our host's attention, she dismissively said there was nothing she could do to control these cats on her property. Barring any further action by the host guests should be prepared for feline hijinks during their stay. The pool was lovely and cleaned daily, however is not as private as stated in the description - the hosts still used the pool when we were out, but vacated the space when we got back. A tarp divider provides mild privacy between both properties, but guests should be aware the host residence & garden is directly next to the pool area. The building has a charming character, and lots of potential.

Extraordinary !!! 1. Electric car charging point is in local village (less than 2km). As with ordinary petrol vehicles the car should indicate low power and driver should know when they should re-charge the battery. I am not a fuel station. 2. Chickens have recently died of old age. However, free range fresh eggs are still supplied with well stocked fridge on arrival (FREE!!) 3. We are in deep rural France in countryside where cats are kept to prevent vermin. It is unfortunate that the guest did not heed warning to leave velox window almost closed to prevent rain and unexpected storms, hence he received an unexpected feline! I only have two cats who are usually kept inside at night. All other cats seen belong to neighbours, or are wild. 4. Being in the French countryside residents are subjected to many odours, i.e. farmland fertilisers, and other wild nocturnal animals - such as foxes, hedgehogs, weisels etc. 5. The host only uses her own swimming pool when necessary to remove leaves, twigs etc after windy spells, apart from general cleaning - the host cannot use her own pool due to suffering severe vertigo !! The area is otherwise private, not overlooked and well screened from host's area. Finally, I should add that this guest had not fully paid for their stay on arrival and had to be contacted by VRBO to settle account after enjoying all the facilities for 3-4 days! Had they forgotten they still had not fully paid for their stay ? Make sure you are in good position before criticising.

Wir hatten eine sehr schönen und vor allem ruhigen Aufenthalt. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Wir hatten den Pool ganz allein für uns. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.

Wohlfühlort mit sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeberinnen

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen, im Kühlschrank wartete eine Flasche Wein auf uns und alles für einen Salat und ein erstes Frühstück. Terrasse und Pool laden zum Entspannen ein und es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um die Region zu erkunden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Jill Smith

Bild für Gastgeberprofil

Jill's more recent occupation was running her own business in London, training care staff to care for elderly people. Jill speaks French and English and loves the French way of life.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

the charm of the French countryside, the history of the house and gite is fascinating both of which is full of rustic character. Believed to date back to before the French revolution this part of France is full of history during the 17th century. Jill has been visiting friends in the Aquitaine region for the last 30 years and has developed a love of the French way of life, its cuisine and the language.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The benefits of the gite offers peace and tranquility in the very rural French countryside. The gite is set in half-acre with a private swimming pool, not overlooked by any neighbouring property. The gite opens out to a lovely garden being disturbed only by the occasional wandering chicken!
