La Petite Niche is our lovely Garden House nestled in our private woodland on the grounds of our home in Villefranche du Perigord. We are on the hillside overlooking the 13th Century village with its stunning Bourg Tower and 19th Century Notre Dame Church – close enough to hear its hourly chimes (from 0800 to 2100)
Offering self-contained accommodation for 2 people inclusive of continental breakfast at a cost of 60 - 70€ per night. We ask for a minimum of two nights booking for advance bookings, but sometimes it is possible to make last minute bookings for a shorter duration so please do not hesitate to enquire!
The accommodation is 15 square metres (12 square metres for the main living and sleeping space and 3 square metres for the en-suite bathroom). There is also a raised terrace of 6 square metres.
The beds can be made up as 2 x single beds (80x200) or as a large double (160x200) to suit your needs.
You will find everything you need for drinks and snack preparation in the fully equipped kitchenette area (fridge, dishwasher, microwave, kettle).
The bathroom consists of a newly fitted WC, sink and a shower.
We are PET friendly! We welcome well behaved dogs and other furry companions – please contact us in advance to discuss. It is possible to arrange dog sitting for a few hours whilst you swim in the public swimming pool, or even for a day if you want to visit an attraction that does not permit dogs (additional charges apply).
We have plentiful parking on our land – the Garden House is a short 30 m walk from the closest parking but we are available to help assist with luggage if this is needed.
We have private woodland, with a very pretty woodland walk for quick dog walks should you not wish to go out further, or just for a few moments’ peace and quiet

The charming 13th Century bastide town of Villefranche du Perigord is just 500 metres away, although in the summer you might not know it as only the tips of the Bourg tower can be seen through the beautiful tree foliage.
