Le Jardin des Amis

Holiday in the Dordogne – authentic old stone gîtes with heated pool in Périgord Noir

Le Jardin des Amis is a small-scale holiday domain with authentic old stone gîtes and heated pool (May - September) in the charming village of Meyrals, right in the heart of the Périgord Noir in the Dordogne.

An ideal place for those who want to stay centrally located in the Dordogne, close to sights, ancient villages and activities, while also enjoying space, outdoor living and a relaxed atmosphere.

Run with love by a Dutch family

We – a Dutch family – are the proud new owners of this idyllic place. Inspired by what we ourselves have always looked for on holiday: freedom for the children, space to play and meet each other, and time to unwind. 

We hope others will enjoy it as much as we do.

Small-scale holiday domain with authentic old stone gîtes

On our almost 4-hectare estate – surrounded by meadows, fruit trees and forest – there are seven authentic old stone gîtes for 2 to 8 people, grouped together like a small village street. Once upon a time, this area was a tobacco plantation; today, it is a green holiday domain where guests enjoy space, nature and a relaxed atmosphere.

The gîtes combine the charm of yesteryear with modern comfort and are suitable for:

 • Couples

 • Families

 • Single parent families

 • Friends

 • Multiple generations together

It is possible to book multiple gîtes at the same time. Our guests appreciate this enormously; being on holiday together while still having privacy. Ideal for families or friends who want to be together but also follow their own rhythm.

Celebrate your holiday close to everything, with plenty of space to relax

You stay here centrally located between villages, markets, castles, caves and activities, without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

During the day, explore the Périgord Noir, take a dip in the heated pool (May - September) in the afternoon, and unwind on your private terrace with a BBQ in the evening. This way, you effortlessly combine the best of two worlds: liveliness within reach and a great place to unwind.

Outdoor living, heated pool and space for children

Life here takes place mainly outdoors: by the heated pool overlooking fruit trees and greenery, in a hammock in the orchard or quietly on your own terrace.

Children have plenty of space to play and explore outside. The domain is child-friendly with a trampoline, swings, a football field and lots of open play area. No entertainment program, but freedom, nature and an ideal environment for small and big adventures.

Traveling alone with your child(ren)? It's extra nice when there are other children to play with. We often see them finding each other here, so you can also relax.

And when it gets dark in the evening? Then you admire a starry sky so clear that you rarely see it.

Discover the Dordogne and the Périgord Noir

The Périgord Noir is known for its castles, caves, medieval towns, local markets and delicious cuisine. From Meyrals, you are close to:

 • Sarlat-la-Canéda

 • Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil

 • The world-famous Lascaux Caves (approx. 25 minutes by car)

Also great outside the high season

Whether you enjoy the liveliness of the high season or the softness of the off-season – every period has its own charm here.
