Located just below the gorgeous town of cordes, a 10 minute walk uphill is aurifat. We had the pigeoneer suite which had 2 bedrooms and a large balcony. The decor is a little dated but please look past that as the experience was memorable. The house is made up of one of the towns valley lookouts, a pigeoneer and a... More

Charming hosts Comfortable room with great character and an amazing view Lovely garden and swimming pool Excellent breakfast Great base for exploring a beautiful and interesting part of france We enjoyed every minute of our three night stay and could happily have stayed for a week. More

Skepticism seemed in order, given the uniformly glowing reviews on TA, but we can only confirm those experiences: extraordinarily helpful hosts, spacious rooms, a very nice pool, a lovely setting that is only a short walk from Cordes. We made the calculation that a car in the cité of Cordes would be a mistake--and we were right. Leave the car... More

I ended up coming to Aurifat on my own due to some last minute change in travel plans. I was a bit hesitant at first because I wasn't sure what it would be like to travel solo while staying in a B&B where you are so close to the hosts.

The room was beautifully appointed with fine furniture and soft sheets. We enjoyed listening to the nightingale serenade us during the night. Breakfast (included in the room rate) was delicious! Ian makes his... More

We just returned from visiting Cordes de Ciel and Aurifat. We got lost on the roads coming from near Sarlat, but it didn't matter; the whole countryside is so beautiful with views at every turn of the backroads we travelled. Ian and Penelope are most gracious hosts. We were worried about the size of the rooms when we saw the... More

Nothing much to add to the substance of what has already been said - we had an excellent night's stay in a splendid environment right below an interesting bastide town. Further things we noted were: • The direct dial local rate number from UK: --------- • The excellent directions from Toulouse airport provided by Ian. • We were having a... More

Ian is a pleasant, helpful host who will make dinner reservations and who will provide maps, recommendations, and guidance on day trips in the area. The "Watchtower" room was spacious, immaculate, nicely furnished, including a fan. Breakfast was delicious with fresh, seasonal fruit; yogurt; even soft-boiled eggs; and homemade jam with appropriate accompaniments. The pool was lovely and so inviting... More
