2 Bedroom House in Cubjac, Cubjac-Auvézère-Val D'ans

Chez Colette et Mimi :
Chez Colette et Mimi is a gracious two bedroom house in the grounds of the French country estate known as La Chartreuse du Maine. From your own garden, limestone steps lead up to your private terrace overlooking a pasture. You can read and sunbathe while relaxing in comfortable cushioned lounge chairs. A patio table and chairs invite you to dine on your terrace, which is equipped with a Weber grill for barbequing your dinner. The sunny, modern kitchen opens directly onto the terrace. Elegant burgundy cabinets contain all the dishes, glassware and utensils you will need to prepare a gourmet meal for your family. The spacious living room opens onto the patio and features a large window overlooking the gardens. There you can choose to dine inside on the comfortably cushioned dining chairs or sit by the wood-burning fireplace on a cool evening.
La Chartreuse du Maine:
Chez Colette et Mimi is one of the three independent luxury gites located in the 300 year old outbuildings of Le Maine, an early 18th century delightful Chartreuse. Here everything breathes Peace, Harmony and Beauty. Located in the centre of the Dordogne region, Le Maine is the perfect relaxing base to get to know the Dordogne, go in search of 350,000 years of history of mankind, experience rural France, discover local gastronomy and wines, and be happy like God in France in a peaceful, bucolic atmosphere. The estate of La Chartreuse du Maine encompasses 67 acres of gardens, meadows and woods with many pathways, on the edge of the peaceful village of Cubjac. Within Le Maine you will enjoy relaxing in a lounge chair by the sunny swimming pool that overlooks the estate.
The village of Cubjac:
The shady tree-lined entrance to La Chartreuse du Maine is on the outskirts of the village of Cubjac, which is in the Dordogne region on the banks of the peaceful Auvezere River. You can easily walk to the village center for a drink at a local café or to do your shopping at the local bakery and general store. There is even a farmers’ market on Fridays with fresh local produce all year round, and hand-made regional crafts for sale in summer.
The region and the 'Perigourdine lifestyle':
It is not pure coincidence that man has been living in this paradise for over 350 000 years. When strolling alone in the superb unspoilt countryside you can just imagine why. Often, mostly in low season, you might catch yourself thinking the Dordogne has not changed at all. The joy of holidays in Dordogne is that nowadays you still can fully indulge in that ‘simple art de vivre’ which all these cultural and historical sites speak of. The Dordogne is synonymous with gastronomy and life in Perigord revolves around markets, recipes, seasons of mushrooms, truffles, foie gras, walnuts, goat cheese, strawberries, wine harvest. Everybody here has a kitchen garden to grow their own preferred vegetable varieties. Every woman has her old secret recipes, a family heritage.

Summary: Fabulous experience from my first communication through to checkout and beyond. Perfect property and perfect hosts. So willing to help inexperienced travelers to France. Fabulous property and a classic French country experience.

Kate M. Sep 7, 2018 10:34:11 PM

Summary: We had a simply wonderful stay at Chez Colette et Mimi for two weeks in August 2018: top quality accommodation brilliantly planned and superb facilities in a truly beautiful setting. Catherine and Maxence were the most felicitous, discrete hosts and charming company. The gorgeous weather too made for an idyllic holiday, over of course far too quickly but we shall return! Kate B

Summary: Wonderful property. Wonderful Location. Wonderful Host and Hostess Maxence and Catherine. What more can we say! We stayed in Colette et Mimi and we were very impressed with the property and the tasteful decoration and high quality of the furnishings an appliances. We spent 7 wonderful days in this beautiful region and would highly recommend the property and location to all our friends and family. Maxence helped us with directions and lots of hints and tips which enable us to have stress free visits to Bordeaux, Perigneux just to name a couple of places that we visited. Catherine was extremely helpful and friendly too and both spoke English extremely well. We enjoyed sitting by the log fire in the evenings and relaxing with a nice glass of red wine. We hope to be back to visit you one day

Summary: Our hopes regarding a stay in the Perigord boiled down to a beautiful (borderline elegant) country estate well situated for exploration of local chateaux / villages / truffles / foie gras / walnuts. Chez Colette et Mimi at the Chartreuse du Maine easily exceeded those hopes. Maxence and Catherine are perfect hosts, providing beautiful accommodations and all the TLC a stranger to the area could need. Their property resembles a monarch's weekend hunting lodge -- expansive, gorgeous, quiet, secluded. The only neighborhood noise comes from Zebulon, the family donkey, who hee-haws at all hours and becomes your bff after the first apple. Wood for the fireplace, flowers on the table, wine and cheese and fresh fruit on arrival --- these folk could give lessons to Dale Carnegie. We will hope for an early return and can't imagine a nicer place to center a sampling of the Dordogne.

Summary: Charming cottage, in a beautiful peacefull domain with lovely pets (Bibi and Zebulon). Catherine and Maxence are very nice, and caring hosts. The houses are fully equiped and the domain is very well located in Dordogne. We loved our stay!

CHARLOTTE R. Jul 5, 2017 11:15:40 PM

Summary: Catherine and Maxence are wonderful hosts at their lovely Gite in Cubjac. The accommodation has two bedrooms and baths, privacy, and beauty. A small country experience close to castles, caves and towns. A very special place!

Summary: Do not hesitate to stay at this gorgeous place. The accommodations are superb, elegant, and well planned. The grounds, gardens, pool, woodland walks make it hard to leave the premises even for all the sightseeing in the area. Walk into town in 10 minutes, drive anyplace for 10 minutes and you are immersed in the beauties of rural France and fall under the spell and charms of the French way of life. If you like gardens, ruins, churches and small villages, this is the perfect place. If you want history, chateaux, prehistoric cave paintings, hiking, canoeing, all nearby. But each time you leave for an outing, you get to come back to your own private space. The hosts, Catherine and Maxence will help you plan your days, and make your stay so much more meaningful. They are there for guidance, but leave you in tranquility. My husband and i sketched and painted in the countryside, villages, markets, and on the grounds, and though we have been home only 2 days, we are dreaming of returning. It far surpassed anything we expected.

Summary: We’ve fallen in love with the Dordogne. We love the prehistoric caves, the vibrant village markets, and the magnificent river valley. We just returned from our third stay at Le Maine. We find Le Maine is a destination itself – each of the cottages is spectacular; the glowing reviews are all true. What do we love about Le Maine and the cottages named Chez Collette et Mimi, Cuisine D’Alice, and Maison de Marc? We love that each cottage is your own; the spaces are so private, you will feel like you are in your own pied- a-terre in the country. The grounds are expansive – there is room to stretch . We love that the interiors are as stunning as the countryside because Catherine and Maxence’s haute- concept is designed to surprise and delight… after all, this part of the country is called, “La France Profonde”! We love that Le Maine creates a “diamond-standard” for quality and the cottages are immaculate. You will find modern appliances, luxurious linens, great furniture and cookware. Everything sparkles with cleanliness at Le Maine. Le Maine is a short walk from the center of Cubjac, a village named for the goat cheese of the region. Cubjac is home to the second best boulangerie in the Périgord and the market foie gras paté is extraordinary. Did we mention the wine selections at LeClerc in nearby Trellisac or Auchan in Perigueux? You will have no trouble finding wine, local produce, cheeses, or handmade confit du canard here. After a full day and evening, you’ll slip into a soul- satisfying sleep. Sightseeing: At Le Maine, you are short drives from adventures in every direction. To the southeast to Montignac and the newly opened Lascaux IV, Font de Gaume, Les Combarelles, Tourtoirac, the Dordogne River towns of Les Eyzies, Sarlat-la-Canéda… to the southwest, the roman town of Perigueux, the port cities of Bergerac and Bordeaux. Wine tastings in Pécharmant, St Emilion, and Bordeaux are a day excursion. This trip we explored the Corrèze to the northeast, and made a grand ronde of medieval mills and forges in the L’Auvérzère river gorge. From the Heart: Your hosts, Catherine and Maxence are the vacation curators every traveler hopes for. They will help chart your adventures, offer off the beaten path experiences, or simply allow you the pleasure of a very private holiday. You will not want to leave. Getting There: Fly to Bordeaux, Bergerac, or Toulouse. Or take the TGV from Paris to Bordeaux or Angoulême. B & Steve, Minneapolis, MN

Summary: This was our third visit to stay at Chartreuse Le Maine, and our first stay in the home called Chez Colette et Mimi. As in our two previous visits, we loved every moment of our stay. The beauty of the property and our home for the week are a sensual delight. Catherine and Maxence are extraordinary hosts. Their attention to detail in planning and preparing for your arrival is a balm to weary travelers. Throughout our week we enjoyed their companionship and advice on treasures to discover on the backroads of the Dordogne. When we stay at the Chartreuse, our only problem is leaving. To walk the land, to sit on the beautiful private patio, stroll the garden, make a dinner in the charming kitchen, read by the fireplace.....all these things make our stay so perfectly suited to us that though there are dozens of places we have yet to visit in the area, we are equally content to stay "home." We will return and soon. When we leave, a piece of our heart is left behind. Merci, Catherine et Maxence!

Paul N. Jul 8, 2016 04:16:49 PM

Summary: I won't repeat all of the glowing statements and the other reviews. They are all true. I would just emphasize the statements about hosts, Catherine and Maxence. Many vacation house owners promise advice on where to go and what to see. Maxence and Catherine truly deliver on that promise.
