MAISON BOYER
NOTE. We now have additional dates available in August and September 2023.
Historic house in the heart of Domme with garden and jacuzzi. This beautiful property is renovated to a very high standard. Quality fittings and tasteful decoration. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It offers comfortable accommodation for up to 6 guests. This unique property is situated in the famous Place de la Rode, in the heart of the village and boasts a peaceful and quiet private garden but with restaurants and shops within a minutes walk and river beaches only 1 km away. The Jacuzzi can be used to cool down in summer and keep warm in winter. The recent renovation has managed to combine modern facilities (satellite TV & internet) with thick stone walls, a wood burner, exposed beams, wooden floors, and shutters.
La Maison Boyer also has the added advantage of having a ground floor bedroom and shower room, extremely rare in this stunning bastide village.
INTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
Ground Floor
The original studded front door opens directly into:
The spacious and luxurious lounge with two sofas (one which converts to a king size bed to accommodate two extra guests); a wood burner stove offering extra warmth for cooler low season evenings; a flat screen TV with English, French and International channels; DVD player; bookcases with a large selection of books, and various lamps and Persian carpets for atmosphere.
A French window leads onto the rear terraced garden with its jacuzzi spa.
A door leads through into the large dining kitchen, with its period tiled floor. The new kitchen is fully equipped with fridge, freezer, electric oven and induction hob, dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, microwave oven and toaster. A solid wooden dining table and 6 chairs provide comfortable interior dining. This delightful room benefits from the open aspect provided by wide French windows opening onto the terrace.
From the kitchen a door leads to a small lobby which in turn gives access to:
A ground floor double bedroom, with glass doors opening onto the Place de la Rode. The bedroom offers two single beds that convert to a king size bed, to suit guest preference. There are bedside tables with lamps, a Moroccan rug, a wardrobe and chest of drawers. A folding table and chairs are there for sitting in the square to enjoy the evening sun.
An adjacent shower room, with a walk in shower, wc, heated towel rail and vanity unit. This doubles as an ensuite facility for the bedroom and for daytime general use. The ground floor layout is suitable for those with restricted mobility.
First Floor.
From the lounge a wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find:
The spacious master bedroom, with traditional stone fireplace, exposed beams, and solid wooden furniture. The king size bed has a memory foam mattress. A door opens onto a long balcony which overlooks the rear garden and offers view over village rooftops to the Dordogne countryside. A table and chairs provides a great spot for morning coffee and croissants.
The master bedroom has en suite bathroom which is bright and airy with a free standing traditional bath, walk in shower, heated towel rail, vanity unit and wc.
General.
Internet wifi access throughout. Bed linen and towels are provided, and the beds are made ready for your arrival. Maison Boyer has an oil fired central heating system, which along with the wood burner in the lounge makes for an extremely comfortable house all year round. A separate ‘buanderie’ in the garden houses the boiler, a washing machine and a second fridge.
EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
The house benefits from an enclosed rear terrace and garden area, completely private due to its high position, despite being in the centre of the village. An all important jacuzzi offers an ideal spot for a cooling dip in the summer or a luxurious and warming experience in winter. A perfect way to relax after a day’s sight-seeing. A wooden table and chairs and a barbecue are ideal for al fresco meals. Sun loungers and a parasol.
SETTING AND LOCATION
Maison Boyer is situated in the Place de la Rode, in the heart of the beautiful bastide village of Domme. One of the classified Plus Beaux Villages de France, Domme offers a selection of excellent restaurants, all within easy walking distance of the house.

Take your pick from the Bastide’s many cafes and restaurants – or shut the front door and enter a different world of relaxation and peace and quiet in the house or garden.
Located in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the Perigord Noir, Domme is perched above the Dordogne river, and all the major tourist sights of the Dordogne such as Sarlat, La Roque Gageac, Castelnaud and Beynac, are within a 20 minute drive.
