Your Stay

Are we nearly there yet?

We want your stay at Fontalbe to be memorable, relaxing and fun. We want you to concentrate on soaking up the atmosphere and making memories.

Your accommodation is completely private. We live on site so we are always available to help. We can book restaurants and attractions and give you advice on things to do. If you have forgotten anything please just ask and we will do our best to help.

Welcome pack

We provide a comprehensive welcome pack, including bread, cheese, water and, of course, wine and beer. Please let us know if you would like anything special included and we will do our best to arrange this for you. If you are arriving particularly late do let us know and we can arrange for a simple meal to be waiting for you.

Young children

We welcome children at Fontalbe. However, please do bear in mind that we are surrounded by forests and rivers that are sometimes not an ideal playground. We ask that you keep your eye on little ones.

Kitchen supplies

We supply dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and washing tablets (bio and non-bio) and other cleaning products. We also supply basic kitchen essentials (olive oil, salt and pepper). There are children’s plastic utensils, plates and bowls and two highchairs.

There is an “honesty bar” in your kitchen with supplies of local red and white wine – just in case you run out!

Supermarkets and shops

The nearest Intermarche is a five-minute drive away. There is a boulangerie and a butcher in Beaumont du Perigord (5 minutes), with a twice weekly market in the Summer.

Eating and drinking

We are lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the best food and wine in France. Beaumont du Perigord has two bars, a bistro and a pizzeria. Saint Avit-Senieur has a fantastic restaurant that is not to be missed, Table de Leo, and a lively bar/restaurant, Chez Cathy and Dennis.

Private Chef

We can arrange for a private chef to cook for you. We can also arrange for private wine tastings in the comfort of your own home. If you would prefer something more unusual we can arrange for a unique wine tasting in a local village.
