	"I write to you with such pleasure to thank you for the fantastic holiday we have recently had in your beautiful house (Easter 2008). The accommodation was simply wonderful, comfortable, tastefully furnished and very well equiped. The kids (and Chip, our terrier) had a fabulous time and loved playing with the dolphin in the pool! The location was everything you promised it would be and has served to only whet our appetite to visit again. We can not express enough our sincere thanks for making the holiday so effort free. We hope you will have availability for our next France holiday as there is still more for us to discover in the Dordogne region. Best, BJ. BJCaz, Manchester. Sept 01, 2008 Chez Kansei (meaning harmony & perfection) is a lovingly restored and converted 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, traditional Périgourdine stone farmhouse and barn. Spacious and beautifully furnished with original features in every room. Situated on the top of a hill in a lovely rural hamlet the house is a haven of peace that includes a large private infinity aspect pool with integrated toddlers area, BBQ, luscious landscaped gardens, wonderful pool terrace, picturesque courtyard and enough private parking for 4 cars. The ground floor of the property comprises two reception rooms both with comfortable sofas and chairs to chill out and relax in. One houses an original stone fireplace and the other, rustic "pierre apparente" stonework. Or escape for a bit of quiet time in the cosy "nook" on the first floor with original fireplace and stone sink. Enjoying a view of the pool and garden, a sunshine filled area with comfortable seating, this is the ideal spot for reading your holiday novel, surfing the Net or just chilling with the iPod. All mod cons are included for everyone to enjoy including hi-fi system, dvd player and English satellite TV. Wi-fi broadband internet access and telephone are also available. The kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with new appliances, crockery and utensils and features an original fireplace with wood burning stove. (Sounds fantastic but in the current economic climate, value for money is a top priority. What more is on offer?) Upstairs are four beautifully appointed bedrooms, one new fully fitted bathroom, one new fully fitted shower room and a separate WC with washbasin. The property is ultimately flexible to accommodate couples, families and friends, groups of enthusiastic walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers or painters wishing to relax after a great days activity.

Its gabled bell tower, rising from the rock is held to be the oldest and one of the finest in France. The original Benedictine abbey was founded in 769 by Charlemagne. Jousting competitions make for a magnificent spectacle on the river during July and August. It is also possible for youngsters to fence in the shade of the Abbey at this time of year. In the botanical gardens on the banks of the Dronne are the monks exquisite little stone-carved rest-houses, literally half house and half cave. There are fine restaurants for special occasions, cafe society to enjoy whilst overlooking the river and the kids canoeing along it, the Friday morning market with its truffle and fois gras stalls buzzing with the life and soul of residents and tourists alike. An absolute treasure in the heart of the Dordogne. Walking, kayaking, canoeing, cycling, hot air ballooning, swimming pools, golf courses, tennis and horse riding are JUST a handful of the plentiful activities available.
