Maison Palissy

We loved our stay at Maison Palissy. The property was absolutely stunning, inside and out. The location is idyllic and it was lovely to sit outside with a coffee or a glass of wine in the beautiful and peaceful garden. Helen and Kevin were lovely, helpful hosts and their attention to detail was visible throughout the property. We cannot wait to return.

Maison Palissy is a smashing place to stay in a unique and idyllic location. Kevin and Helen are such friendly and sensitive hosts who go out of their way to make your stay perfect. The accommodation is very well equipped, very comfortable and private and yet with the use of the pool and glorious garden. We will definitely go back there.

It was a great pleasure staying in Maison Palissy. The owners Kevin and Helen gave us a great welcome and had lots of helpful information to share. The accommodation is a fine blend of centuries old stone and wood with tasteful modernisation. We appreciated the wide range of books in the living room and bedroom. We enjoyed the large garden with its many fruit trees and a flower meadow and the salt water swimming pool was perfect for relaxing in at the end of the day. The local shop for fresh bread is just a few minutes walk, as is the restaurant in the chateau. Highly recommended.

A perfect French hideaway in a beautiful village. Helen and Kevin are the perfect hosts, so warm and welcoming. The Maison is wonderfully decorated and has so many lovely touches to make your stay feel so special. The garden is a joy so peaceful and relaxing. Relax by the pool and take in the wonderful meadow below. We hope to make a return visit to explore more of the amazing countryside and historic villages, and sample more of Helen's jam made from figs from the garden.

This charming self-contained apartment was spotlessly clean with beautiful décor. It was spacious, warm and cosy, despite the cold December weather outside. The bedroom had plenty of storage space, and the bed was comfy. The owners, Helen and Kevin were great, very welcoming and helpful. We were very private in our apartment, with patios and views over the large garden. Biron was close to Bergerac airport and cheap Ryanair flights. It was a great time of year to visit the Dordogne We’ll definitely be back to Maison Palissy and would highly recommend a stay there.

We spent a delightfully relaxing week at Maison Palissy, enjoying the perfect surroundings of the large, landscaped gardens, with wild flower meadow and immaculate pool. The accommodation was thoughtfully and comfortably furnished with all we could possibly need for our stay. Helen and Kevin were charming hosts who ensured we had every comfort. Many thanks for a memorable stay in a beautiful part of France.

We loved our stay at Maison Palissy. Its relaxed accommodation and extensive outside space, fruit trees and salt water pool were just what we needed. The accommodation is spacious and cool in the summer months with everything needed for a relaxing holiday. The centre of Biron is a short walk away (through the top of the garden) where there's a local shop for the essentials and Château de Biron. We look forward to returning!

This charming, peaceful gite was a most welcome respite after a long days house hunting. Comfortable, stylish and has everything you need in a very pretty location. Little shop walkable from the gite plus the Auberge inside the chateau. Excellent shower, comfortable bed and lovely touches by Helen....jam, shortbread, wine and milk in the fridge on arrival. No TV, but a few DVD's for relaxing in the winter evening by the cosy pellet burner. Lovely, hospitable hosts. Do stay here, you won't be disappointed!

This lovely property is my idea of the perfect French country hideaway, deep in the countryside, with an enormous garden, in a unspoilt village shared with a majestic medieval château. The owners couldn't be warmer or more helpful, if you need them.
