Overview
Le Priolet was originally an 18th century priory, now converted into a luxury, 4 bedroom villa set romantically on the banks of the Dordogne river. Just 15 minutes east of Saint-Émilion, it's in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region - a perfect home base for exploring this beautiful area.
Le Priolet sits at the end of long private driveway through neighboring vineyards. It's a tranquil oasis with a swimming pool, gardens and private access to the river for swimming and fishing from our own dock. The villa has been carefully renovated with modern amenities and one-of-a-kind antiques, preserving the authentic beauty of the original architecture without sacrificing comfort.
