Cherveix-Cubas sits on the banks of the Auvézère River and is less than a kilometre downhill from the property. This welcoming village has all the essentials for a relaxed holiday in the Dordogne, including a good restaurant, pharmacy, hairdresser and post office — everything you need close to home.
Just 5km away is Hautefort, best known for its impressive 17th-century château and formal gardens, one of the highlights of the Dordogne. Beneath the castle walls you’ll find excellent restaurants and a selection of small shops. On the way to Hautefort there is a well-stocked Intermarché supermarket and a petrol station, making it easy to stock up during your stay, less than 5 minutes by car.
The Dordogne region is ideal for outdoor lovers, with rolling hills, wooded valleys and quiet country roads perfect for walking and cycling. Horse riding and canoeing are available nearby, while activities such as hot air balloon flights and quad biking can also be arranged within easy reach.
Exploring north along the Auvézère Valley, you’ll discover a number of interesting attractions, including an old forge, a historic paper mill, and one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, Ségur-le-Château.
In July and August, Ségur-le-Chateau hosts a lively Monday evening farmers’ market, where locals and visitors gather to enjoy food, barbecues and a friendly village atmosphere. A little further on is Pompadour, home to the French National Stud and a beautiful racecourse overlooked by a château — a lovely spot for a Sunday outing, perhaps combined with the bustling Sunday market in Objat.
The area is also famous for its prehistoric caves, including the world-renowned Lascaux, less than 30 minutes away in Montignac. Closer to home, the Tourtoirac caves, just 7km away, offer spectacular underground galleries filled with stalactites. Other nearby caves like Gouffre de Padirac can be explored by underground train or by boat on an underground lake, making them a fascinating day out for all ages.
Cherveix-Cubas is a charming, small village set in the heart of the Dordogne countryside and is best reached by car. The nearest major airport is Brive–Vallée de la Dordogne (Brive-la-Gaillarde), approximately 45 minutes’ drive away. Other convenient airports include Limoges (around 1 hour 15 minutes), Bergerac (around 1 hour 30 minutes), Bordeaux (around 1 hour 45 minutes) and Toulouse (around 3 hours).
As with much of rural Dordogne, car hire is essential, as there is no direct public transport serving Cherveix-Cubas. Having a car also gives you the freedom to explore the surrounding villages, local markets, beautiful countryside, and historic sites at your own pace.
For guests driving from the UK, the journey from Calais takes approximately 8–9 hours, depending on traffic and route, making it a scenic and manageable drive through France.
If you’d like help planning your journey to Cherveix-Cubas, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re always happy to assist. Additional travel advice can also be found on our website under “Travel Tips.”
Free parking is available on the property, with plenty of space for cars — and even enough room for a camper van, making it convenient for families or groups travelling with extra vehicles.
We had a great holiday in this beautiful house. The pool is fantastic and was great as the weather was very hot on some days. The views from the house are breathtaking and the deer roam free in and out of the forest at the end of the garden. So beautiful. The garden is great for stargazing at night if the sky is clear. If you go in July and august you might see some shooting stars. We saw loads. The local village is lovely and has two nice restaurants . both serve delicious traditional French food . We went canoeing one day and that was fun. It’s very safe to go there with younger children. Chateau de Hautefort is nearby and worth a visit . It’s history is very interesting and the gardens are beautiful. There are supermarkets in Hautefort which is a short drive from tge house. The house itself is well equipped for everything you need. We had fun playing table tennis and reading the many books on the bookshelves. There are plenty of places to sit in the garden to quietly read etc. We also enjoyed watching some of the cds that were in the house. There are lots of nice walks near the house . As I said earlier the pool was very nice and it was very private with a lovely view of the forest and fields behind. Overall we had a very nice peaceful holiday in this pretty house.

We have stayed at so many places and this is the best villa / Gite / Cottage. Exceeded expectations, beautiful pool area, gardens, house and equipped with all and more than you could wish for.
Badminton tournaments, deer, foxes and hedgehogs in the garden. So many areas to chill, eat, chat and drink.
Beautiful surroundings and great bakery in the village for bread etc. Our french is not so good but we always try and the people were really friendly except when we ate in Francas restaurant which is highly reviewed. Food was awful too. Plenty of other options though and so much to do in the area.

This is the perfect getaway to relax, rejuvenate and unwind. The scenery was beautiful and the wildlife plentiful. Lazy days spent in the pool, evenings playing ping pong and family meals on the terrace. The villa has everything a family needs for a wonderful holiday. The owners have thought of everything and the villa is well stocked with books, films, board games and lots of information on the surrounding area. It is was a home away from home. When we did decide to venture out we found it was close driving distance to all major attractions such as Montignac, Lascaux, Hautefort and many other local tourist sites. Ross and Joni from Voila Villas were very helpful, welcoming and gave us some great advice regarding restaurants and life in this beautiful region. Thank you we definitely will come back.

Superbe et spacieuse maison, située dans un environnement magnifique, grand terrain avec parfois des chevreuils apparaissant en contre-bas. Table de ping pong, tout l'équipement nécessaire pour se préparer des repas et desserts, tout ce qu'il faut pour passer des vacances en famille et au calme. A recommander.

We had a lovely stay. The villa is clean and very well equipped. The pool area is stunning and completed with an amazing view. Cherveix-Cubas has a few lovely places to eat- and there are some great things to do close by. We definitely recommend.
