This former stone farm merits all the superlatives.... Situated on the hills above a typical hamlet of the Perigord, between the classified villages of Belvès and Monpazier, its bucolique environment merits the detour!

Particularly spacious and perfectly equipped, La Métairie d'Astor has been recently renovated, with a mix of modern comfort and orginal features.

During hot summer days, you will appreciate a cooling dip in the large, private, infinity pool after a leisurely lunch on one of the shady terraces, or simply relaxing under the hundred year old walnut tree. In cooler periods, the cosy with under floor heating and two woodburners is comfortable all year round.
