Casa Carolina is a spacious family house just 5 minutes walk from the popular, picturesque village of Trémolat in the heart of the Dordogne. Nearby the river curves through the famous 'Cingle de Trémolat' and into a deep water section, which during the summer months provides a wide range of water activities. This area has an abundance of medieval towns and villages each with its own unique history. Sarlat with its narrow winding streets, picturesque merchant houses and medieval buildings, and Monpazier, Issigeac and Limeuil each with their own unique historic identity, are just a few of the nearby villages to visit.
