Le Mazet

We have just returned from our wonderful family holiday at Le Mas et Le Mazet.
We loved every minute.
It is a magical place with stunning scenery, peaceful atmosphere and is incredibly well equipped for a superb holiday.
The quality and attention to detail is phenomenal.
Rupert and Franck are extremely kind and helpful.
The welcome hamper of local fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs and homemade jams was a lovely surprise and very thoughtful.
The property is finished to a very high standard with comfortable beds with beautiful bed linen, luxury White Company products in all bathrooms.
The kitchen has everything you need with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses and the outdoor kitchen is perfect for eating, and drinking whilst enjoying the beautiful green vista.
We enjoyed the heated pool and had lots of family fun and games.
There are so many gorgeous villages to explore with lovely markets and spectacular rivers for canoeing down. It truly is the ideal destination.
We look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you.

This year we made our 7th trip to Le Mas & Le Mazet. I thought it was about time to review it as each year our love for the place grows even more.
The location is incredible: not only is it convenient for Bergerac airport, it’s positioned between Beaumont and Monpazier, two beautiful and historic villages/towns with all the shops and conveniences you could need. The Dordogne river with its chateaus and canoeing is also not far and neither are the caves. The view from Le Mas is also entrancing and bucolic; haybales, sunsets and chateaus all from the stunning outdoor kitchen.
The property itself still really stands out, even all these years on, maintained inside and out with phenomenal attention to detail. The bedrooms are full of storage, great en-suites and dreamy beds with gorgeous bed linen and quality duvets. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and plenty of (matching!) cutlery, crockery and glasses so no need to be constantly washing up. The living room has huge sofas so everyone can be comfortable and large cupboards full of books and games for cooler or cloudy days.
During your stay the owners Rupert & Franck are on hand if you need them but practically invisible if not. They have organised several experiences for us; this year we particularly enjoyed the fabulous massages from Marielle under the trees in the shade, and an exceptional dinner by Didier. Rupert & Franck have been an absolute pleasure to get to know and each visit it feels more and more like home from home. We countdown to our next visit from the moment we leave!

There are no words to describe the beauty, splendour and magnificence of Le Maz. The buildings and grounds are simply spectacular. The design, amenities and appointments are luxurious and everything you could want or need is there. The views and location are second to none. But the greatest is part of Le Max is Rupert and Franck (and of course Plum). Kind, generous and funny they really add to the experience and you can feel their influence throughout the property. Nothing is too much trouble and they are wonderful. Repeat stays recommended!

Rupert & Franck have created holiday heaven! Their property is on site but they manage the balance of being available (they are a mine of local info!) & allowing privacy for total relaxation.
We loved visiting Millie to pick organic veg (some of which was included in our welcome goodies) and we enjoyed long lunches & dinners outside everyday.
The local area is beautiful with lots to do but you will want to get back to this special place as soon as you can to squeeze every drop out of your time there!
We very much hope to return…..

Having stayed for the first time in 2022, we had no hesitation in booking again for 2023. This time we took 10 people so had both properties and, just like last time, everything was perfect. Franck and Rupert are excellent hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful week was spent lying by the pool during the day followed by eating and drinking in the outdoor kitchen in the evenings. The kids loved the pool and all the toys and games, whilst the adults appreciated the variety of places and spaces to find some much needed peace and quiet. Both properties have everything you could possibly need to make it a true home-from-home. I have no doubt we will be back again, as long as we can find some availability,
