Four characterful gîtes. Eight hectares of rewilded nature. One very good reason to put your phone down.

Le Moulin de Pensol is a small, family-run collection of four gîtes set in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin — one of France’s most beautiful and unspoilt natural regions.

Swap screens for streams. Spend your days paddling in the River Bandiat, spotting moths by torchlight, walking the Sentier du Bandiat, or simply sitting in your private garden watching the hummingbird hawk-moths work their way through the lavender. The Lac de Saint-Saud-Lacoussière — a beautiful natural swimming lake — is just 8 minutes away.

Our gîtes each have their own personality. Bouleau and Cerisier are charming one-bedroom retreats for two, perfect for couples seeking peace and nature. Châtaignier is our family gîte, ideal for two adults and two children who want to rediscover the joy of old-fashioned holidays. Le Moulin, across the river in the old mill building, sleeps up to seven and is perfect for larger family gatherings.

Booked together, all four gîtes can accommodate up to 17 guests — making Le Moulin de Pensol a wonderful setting for a family reunion or celebration.

Dogs very welcome. Free WiFi. Bed linen and towels included.
