    • Sleep in a troglodyte shelter decorated with cave paintings 15 minutes from Sarlat at Prehistogite!

      Le Prehistogite, located in Saint-Geniès, 15 minutes from the Vézère Valley and Sarlat, offers the rental of 4 spacious gîtes, for 2 to 4 people. These accommodations appear classic from the outside, in a beautiful natural environment, with a swimming pool and a Spa / Jacuzzi, but go inside to discover a real prehistoric atmosphere ! Decorated with cave paintings similar to those of the Lascaux Caves, you will be like in a real cavity... The walls are coated then painted with great care and skill to immerse you in an unusual world ...

      The cottages are all 4 equipped with double beds (3 also have additional sofa beds to accommodate up to 4 people), nestled in cleverly painted alcoves. The furniture is in keeping with the place: wooden furniture, animal skins and floor hangings... it's cozy, pleasant, cocooning and completely Périgord atmosphere ! You've never slept in a place like this. The only difference with the homes of our ancestors is the comfort, because here everything is modern, practical and clean. Wifi, television, bathroom and toilet, wardrobe, everything is there for you to have an excellent stay.

      Don't feel like cooking? Le Préhistogite invites you to order (24 hours in advance) one of the 3 menus that the owners have created with local products. Delicacies selected from local producers so that you can enjoy your rental and dine or lunch on delicious dishes without leaving home!

      After a day of sightseeing, come and relax in the Prehistogite swimming pool, it is open in the summer and all year round, you can enjoy the pleasures of hot water in the Jacuzzi / Spa. The gîtes are located in Saint-Geniès, a pretty village in the Périgord Noir, very well located and with lots of character. You will appreciate the stone houses and slate roofs, the quality Sunday market with many producers and shops... And the proximity of the Vézère Valley, the Lascaux Caves and charming villages such as Saint-Amand-de-Coly, Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, Les Eyzies and further away Le Bugue, Limeuil. In the other direction, you will head towards Sarlat 15 minutes away and then the Dordogne Valley just a little further, with its castles, gardens, visits, and trips on a barge or canoe/kayak. A great, original holiday in perspective.

    A very good one-night stay, with a great welcome from Eric, a change of scenery, very nice decor, meals available as an extra for the night which were very good, in short, a good place to stay.

    A truly unique experience, and the owner was incredibly attentive. A warm and friendly welcome. The evening meal offered was generous and absolutely delicious! Breakfast brought to the gîte by the host was perfect (a few croissants would have been a nice touch, but that's a minor detail). A wonderful night in a truly unique setting. I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend it.

    We had a wonderful night. The room is magnificent, very comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The meal was delicious. The place transports you to another era; it's calm and relaxing. It was a lovely discovery. As for the host, he's fantastic! Welcoming, accommodating, and always available. We have absolutely no complaints; we are 100% satisfied with our stay.
