“La Gravette“ was built in the 18^th century on the original site of the Roman settlement of Petit Bersac. In the past centuries the house was inhabited by the caretakers of the Château “Le Mas de Montet”. A long driveway leads to this original stone house, peacefully located on a hill on five acres.  From the top there is a magnificent view over the picturesque Dronne river and the privately owned castle “Le Mas de Montet”, formerly the favourite accommodation of Francois Mittérand.

“La Gravette”

The original character and layout of the house was maintained during the restoration. The removal of a part of the ceiling revealed the historical roof construction with its ancient oak beams and embellished the house on a grand scale with rooms of 5 metres in height. The bright living room with its original open fire is very spacious (42m²). Next to that is the typical huge Périgord kitchen (33m²) with its fireplace by the table. Through the kitchen two bedrooms on the ground floor are reached via an enormous hallway: one bedroom (18 m²) with a double bed and en-suite bathroom and a large bedroom (13 m²) next to a separate bathroom. The hallway also leads up to the first floor to two more spacious bedrooms and a bright bathroom with shower and WC.

La Gravette (174 m² living space) houses 9 people plus a baby. Views from the house are unobstructed, it is surrounded by three large patios and has a modern 13 metre long pool with a light-flooded pool house and large sun-decks. La Gravette is also equipped with hot water, electric central heating, a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven with gas burners, telephone, TV, stereo/CD player and wireless internet.
