Copyright Luxury Dordogne Villas 2010

Acabanes is a luxury villa in the Dordogne, full of charm and character and beautifully renovated to retain its original stone walls and beamed ceilings. It includes all the modern facilities expected in a holiday property (see equipment page for details).

Downstairs, the focal point is a large sitting room 9x8m which is open to a timbered "cathedral" ceiling. A Jotul wood burning stove adds warmth and character. For entertainment there is a 7x4ft slate bedded Championship Pool Table, a 50" High Definition 1080 Pansonic Plasma TV, DVD and Surround Sound System.

The kitchen and dining area leads from the sitting room. The kitchen is 9x4m  and has a tiled floor and modern oak fitted units. It also has a Jotul wood burning stove, large Rangemaster electric double oven and five ring gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge/freezer and ice making machine.

The kitchen opens through French doors, onto a partly covered tiled terrace. There are two BBQs, a large Outback gas BBQ and a traditional charcoal BBQ, along with table and chairs, ideal for 'al fresco' dining or just simply enjoying the views over the lower garden, swimming pool and surrounding countryside.

The villa has four large triple super king bedrooms. The two downstairs bedrooms, Lavande (Lavender) and Vert (Green), each have en-suite shower rooms and French doors leading directly onto small private terraces and then the swimming pool beyond (these doors can be looked to restrict access to the pool area for young children).

Upstairs there are two family suites, Rose and Yellow. The Yellow suite has a master bedroom; a smaller twin bedroom and a large en-suite bathroom. The Rose suite comprises a master bedroom , and a smaller bedroom with a single bed and a cot, and share a large en-suite bathroom. They both have Velux windows to enable the bedrooms to be vented and cooled when the summer temperatures are high.

From the Rose suite there is access onto a large 4x3m balcony, which is an ideal place for afternoon tea; to soak up some sunshine; or to enjoy a drink watching the sunset over the valley (a drinks fridge is provided to save you the long walk to the kitchen!).

The gardens extend to nearly three acres. There is a fenced lower garden of two acres with a 11x5m swimming pool and children’s play area. Basketball, table tennis, football goals and boules are all available, as are six adult Raleigh bikes (with front suspension). For our younger guests there are two small bikes (one for a child aged up to five and the other for a child up to ten); a trailer bike; and two baby/toddler seats for the Raleigh bikes.

Adjacent to the swimming pool is a gym and sauna room, which has a four person infra red sauna, exercise bike and a York 925 multi-gym.
