This was the first time I ran a painting holiday in Dordogne and it was amazing! Perigord Retreats provided us all with... an unique experience, taking us to the most breathtaking beautiful places and serving delicious food and drink. The accommodation is comfortable and set on beautiful gardens. We were a group of people from England, Scotland, Mexico, Canada, America, Sweden and Portugal and everyone was very happy with the holiday. Thank you Angela, Adrian and Chloe for a wonderful week.đread more

I had a wonderful time! Angela and Adrian and their daughter Chloe are amazing people with a beautiful home and... property. We had excellent food, wine, desserts and went on amazing outings everyday. Maria Tavares art course is fantastic. She is an experienced, accomplished artist and is extremely patient and fun. I have been to 2 of her courses and have seen legitimate improvements in my abilities. The property, the region, the culture, the art are all fantastic! It is a beautiful experience- a must do!!!read more

I can't rave about Perigord Retreats enough. The place is run by the Turner family, and each of them works to make... this place fabulous. Angela, the mom, is a force of nature, with unbounded energy dedicated to meet each individual's needs while always smiling and filled with warmth. Her cooking is extraordinary, preparing gourmet meals for the group every day, and even making accommodations for special dietary needs. She is ably assisted by Chloe. Her son Harrison and husband Adrian are usually the drivers for daily outings to the towns and sights in the area that are picture perfect and wonderful to paint. They bring humor and charm to each adventure. Perigord even has a swimming pool, a refreshing treat at the end or start of a hot, busy day. I was concerned about spending 10 days here, not knowing what I was getting into. I came away thrilled by a perfect vacation, filled with the peace of the country, the delight of great food shared on the porch where we could smell the scent of lavender and watch the rising or setting sun, and the excitement of daily trips to places of unparalleled beauty. Thank you all for an unforgettable experience!read more

Youâll never experience anything to match the care you receive from this family. They are committed to your comfort... and Angela cooks like a top chef!Father and son are knowledgeable about wonderful places for painters and provide transport after consultation with the tutor.Angela makes up a delicious picnic for the group to enjoy while out and the men set it all up in special places.A studio, custom built as part of the Retreat,is a special bonus for completing work in the evenings, for âcritsâ after a day out and especially when rain keeps painters indoors.Our experience with them left us feeling we had been welcomed warmly into their family and made special new friends.read more

Following on from my fifth visit to Perigord Retreats and when I thought I couldn't enjoy it any more than I had on... previous visits how wrong I was. Every trip has a something 'special' to take back home. I'm taking back this time that special memory of my new Kayaking experience. My first Kayaking experience and definitely not my last. The whole experience with the Turner family was incredible from start to finish. I'm not a natural water baby(dry land sports is my safety zone) so this experience challenged my fears and doubts. For all those thinking this wouldn't be for you.....think again!!! Firstly apart from the adrenaline rush and fun factor with a capital F! It's an exhilarating ride. Beats any theme park. The Dor Dogne is amazing and the stunning scenery can only be appreciated by experiencing it first hand actually from a canoe and riding the liberal rapids whilst sun kissed beneath the French clear blue sky with it's rays bouncing off the equally clear water. En route Angela took time to demonstrate her knowledge of French invasion of times long past within the astounding Castle walls, of which there were several that grandly stood in place over the setting. On that particular day there were many of us moving with the currant , in life jackets and flexing our oaring skills. The surroundings vast in greenery, the little alcoves hidden in the rocks, the birds touching base at various locations along the way and the whole aroma of France soaked in Medieval history would surely make this an inspirational experience. This is just one small pocket of my lovely memories from my last trip with Perigord Retreats.read more
