Situation "La Bastide" is a traditional stone house located in the heart of the 13th Century village of Monpazier and only a few steps from the central Medieval market place. The minute you enter the town by any of its 3 arched gateways you feel there is something special and exciting in the air; a confident charm about the shops and the people that is not lost on any visitor to this ancient bastide. |

| There are three levels. The
living area is on the ground level; two bedrooms and a bathroom on the
middle level; and a further bedroom and bathroom on the top level. You will feel immediately at home as the atmosphere is light and cheerful. With its thick ancient stone walls, the house is cool in Summer and the automatic electric central heating makes it cosy and inviting in Winter. The house is ideal for a couple, two couples or a family of up to seven. |
