Local area description
Our gîte is located in a peaceful rural setting at Saint-Sornin-la-Marche, ideally positioned between the historic town of Le Dorat (11 km) and the market town of Bellac (16 km). This location offers countryside tranquillity while remaining within easy reach of shops, cafés, restaurants, and weekly markets. The surrounding area is characterised by rolling landscapes, open views, and quiet country lanes, ideal for walking, cycling, and relaxing in nature.
Le Dorat is well known for its impressive 12th-century Collegiate Church of Saint-Pierre, medieval streets, and traditional market, while Bellac offers a wider range of amenities, riverside walks along the Vincou, and a lively local atmosphere. Closer villages such as La Croix-sur-Gartempe (3 km) provide additional local charm.
The wider area is rich in history, gastronomy, and family-friendly activities. The nearby Monts de Blond (approx. 15–20 km) offer excellent walking routes and scenic viewpoints, while Lac de Saint-Pardoux (approx. 35–40 km) is a popular destination for swimming, beaches, water sports, and activities for all ages. Local food, wine, and markets are a highlight throughout the region.
This location suits all types of holiday makers and is particularly ideal for couples seeking a relaxed escape, combining beautiful scenery, good food and wine, and easy access to memorable days out.

Beautiful apartment on the first floor in a large one, with views of the pool and countryside. Independent access by an external staircase is very convenient. The hosts onsite are charming and considerate. The accommodation is well laid out and very comfortable. Thank you Kim and Gary!

We enjoyed the apartment very much. It is located in a beautiful natural and peaceful environment. The space itself was very clean and spacious. We also enjoyed the beautiful well-kept garden with the swimming pool. Above all, Gary and Kim are very nice and helpful and made us feel very welcome! They are very discreet but always available if you need anything. We would definitely recommend a stay :)
