The Experience
The gites are housed in the converted 19th-century barn alongside the owners’ deeply rural Dordogne home. Each has its own path to the sunny shared pool and its own pool furniture but you also have private decking for al fresco meals. Indoors you’ll find much rusticity in old beams, stone and brick alongside beautiful beds with cashmere-filled sprung mattresses. You can book as groups of 10, 12 and 16.
It’s a sustainable sort of place too: solar panels heat water, cleaning products are eco, plastic is discouraged. The setting is absolutely lovely so take time to stand and stare at the stars, listen to the birds, explore the forest and visit Périgord’s markets and castles; ask Annette about their yoga and Pilates courses too.
Your welcome hamper bulges with red wine and rosé, salads, eggs, paté and cheeses, homemade cake and fruit, bread and croissants. You’ll also find all the basics for cooking and if you bring your dog they get treats too.

We had a wonderful fortnight here. The property is beautiful, extremely well-equipped and appointed, and the photos don't do justice to how spacious and airy the high ceilings and beautiful east-facing balcony make it feel. The pool and gardens, leading onto a larger meadow, are just lovely. The location is a quiet retreat and and very well connected for great days out. Annette and Peter are great hosts, on hand to help with directions to local attractions. We'll book again.

A beautiful property, exceptionally clean and well equipped. Annette and Peter are very welcoming and the welcome pack was the best we've ever had. In fact of 6 properties we have stayed in France Rural Gites was our favourite. I loved the interior decor and we had great fun playing with the football table.

We had a really lovely week staying in Sanglier. The facilities, including the super pool, are of the highest standard and the accommodation was perfect for our group of six (including a toddler and a baby). Above all, Annette and Peter were the perfect hosts, they provided a delicious supply of food and drink to welcome us and were always on hand if and when needed, but without being obtrusive. We have no hesitation in recommending Rural Gites Chadene.

Rural Gites were a perfect family holiday with a toddler. The pool and surroundings are totally stunning with a very relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back, thank you!

It goes without saying that Rural Gites are clean and furnished to a high standard, but it's the attention to detail & Annette's kindness that make it stand out from the rest. A home baked cake & a 'hamper' of foodie delights wait upon your arrival. Plenty of power adaptors and hangers are supplied, as are towels and you are gifted your own water bottles. A daily sign is put out everyday with what's on in the area. It's this, the scenery and much much more that makes Rural Gites that little bit special and worthy a return visit.

Rural Gites is a brilliant example of what Sawday’s does best: stunning location, stylish and comfortable accommodation, environmentally sensitive, lots of magic / thoughtful touches - and of course the brilliant pool! A huge thanks to Annette for going out of her way to make our stay special. From the welcome goodies for the dog and well stocked fridge - to taking our daughter out to the market, star gazing tips, local knowledge - a brilliant host and a patch of paradise. We’ll be back!

This is a special Sawdays place - perfect in every way and the attention to detail in the gite, grounds, pool and local travel advice from our hosts was as good at it gets. We were with our teenagers and in the mood for a holiday chill out as well as making it interesting for them. The pool area is a wonderful relaxing spot and the big open skies are amazing - especially the night-time stars and the morning sunrises . We canoed in local rivers, discovered some very pretty villages to visit, enjoyed a day at the coast and loved biking to local boulangerie which has delicious bread and pastries

This was our second trip to Rural Gites Chadene. The Gites are scrupulously clean and very well presented. The whole experience is very person centred - the hosts are kind and help in every way possible to make your holiday as relaxing as possible. The pool is beautiful, the hamlet is very French, sleepy and beautiful. Facilities are excellent even extending to beeswax wraps which I found very impressive! If you are someone who wants to be out at a different restaurant every night this probably isn’t for you - if you want to enjoy the company of your family in beautiful surroundings then it is

From the moment we arrived it was clear that this is a special place to stay - Annette and Peter are caring, attentive and helpful, the accommodation is lovely and comfortable with touches harking back to the history of the building and quality, attractive decoration bringing it bang up to date. The pool is a good size, it's salt water and heated to a very nice 29 degrees. The ethos of Rural Gîtes at Chadène is to be admired....gently encouraging ecologically friendly principles...which somehow makes you simply feel better!!!

From start to finish, this is one of the most lovely places that we have ever stayed. An attention to small detail both in the apartment and in the grounds which was so very appreciated. We are family with 3 children and Annette's gîte catered wonderfully for all of us. The place's calm atmosphere is heightened by an undertone of unpretentious luxury that we delighted in. We would love to return, can't recommend it more warmly.

Thank you Rural Gites for such a lovely relaxing stay at Chadenne - such a beautiful setting. We had lots of fun at the house and in the surrounding areas. Tennis courts at the Centre of Tennis and multisport were a great find. We wil be back and looking forward to exploring more of the area. We loved the wildlife , the amazing skies and the peace and quiet (although we may have disrupted that!!) and of course, the food and wine. Thank you so much for sharing Chadenne with us.

Thank you so much Rural Gites for such a fabulous week. We loved everything from lazing by the pool to visiting Castle Beynac. The visit to Issigeac is a MUST. We look forward to returning and continuing the volley ball championship!

Location
The neighbourhood
There's no light pollution so the stars on clear nights are stunning and there's very little noise to disturb. Bring your bikes and head three miles for a really good bakery which also doubles up as a grocery store and café - you can place orders for the next day's baked goods. There are decent restaurants just a short drive away at Montpon-Ménestérol, which also has a good food market and feels very rural.
Local points of interest from Annette & Peter Marshall
- The ancient Foret de La Double is brimming with flora, fauna such as deer and nightingales, and places for walking and cycling.
- At night the skies are incredibly dark - you can sit outside with some local fizz and watch shooting stars, the Milky Way appear and try to guess where the satellites are travelling to and from. At night you will see the deer grazing, hear owls and bats.
- Rural Gites are family gites with a discreet resident owner who is very happy to help make your holiday special. This quiet Dordogne area is away from crowds but close to Aubeterre sur Dronne and St Emilion with their ancient monuments and history.
- We work closely with our friends at Dordogne Mountain Bike Hire so you can get out and about in the local area on the many cycle routes.
- Rural Gites site is rural and with that comes the tranquillity and calm required for a lovely 'away from it all' holiday in a stylish environment with all of your holiday requirements catered for.
- National Park La Jemaye has free paddle boarding and canoeing and is a great wild swimming location.

Introducing
Annette & Peter Marshall
Annette and Peter have owned the property as a holiday home for many years but recently decided to move here permanently. They have developed the gites themselves - not just along eco lines but also to be exactly the sort of holiday home they used to like coming too with their children when they were younger - hence the generosity of spirit. A great place to come for a stress-free family holiday.
These Gites are peacefully located in a quiet corner of the Dordogne. The accommodation is well equipped, stylish and very comfortable. We appreciated the heated pool, which was just an ideal temperature thanks to an air source heat pump. Annette and Peter have lived her for many years and are happy to share their extensive knowledge of the area. Our generous welcome pack of groceries included home made cake, and jam made with fruit from their garden. An idyllic spot with wonderful hosts.
