1 Bedroom Hotel apartment in Southerly Views, Limoges

Sometimes you just know a place feels a bit different before you can even explain why. This ground floor one bedroom hotel apartment at Southerly Views near Limoges hit me like that straight away. Something about the way the light drops through the big windows and lands on those old French stone walls just makes you want to pause. You get all this open flow from the entry right through to the southern gardens, so even standing in the living space you start to notice small things. It is quiet here—not the kind of silence that feels cold or empty, but more the way the countryside settles around you. The resort almost feels like it has always been here, even though everything you touch is brand new and finished with care.

The suite comes fully furnished, so you walk in and life just feels simple from the start. The open plan kitchen caught my eye because it looks properly laid out, with so much storage tucked in that you could cook a fresh market lunch with no trouble at all. I honestly stood where the dining area sits, just looking out at the gardens, and pictured someone working from home with nothing but birds outside for background noise. The bedroom is surprisingly spacious. A king bed fits easily and there is still plenty of room to move around, so it never feels crammed. You can unpack and actually live here, not just visit. The bathroom is a real bathroom too, with a tub you can take your time in and shower that is roomy, not one of those little cabin spaces some places have. Storage here is properly thought out, so even someone staying a while could have their things for all seasons, not just a quick holiday.

Out the window you get these long southern views right across the lawns and off to where the forest starts. I just watched for a while and saw a few birds in the hedges. If you like greenery or need space to clear your head, you will notice it right away. Only a short stroll and you will be at the golf course. I am not much of a golfer myself but I know people who are never happier than with a course on the doorstep. Then there's the chateau, an actual sixteenth century spot with towers and a spa that feels tucked out of time. Steam rooms, stone everywhere, and a terrace where you can sit with tea and watch the sun set. Feels a bit magical.

You will also see practical touches, like locked bike storage if you cycle. People often take their bikes or just walk by the lakes here—it is that kind of place, where life slows down and you have time for mornings outside. The developer has worked with the world's largest hotel group so the property management is top notch. That means a proper holiday vibe every day, or the steady reassurance that things are handled even if you rent it out long term. The suite is part of a new build but you would never know it thanks to all the old world character. The resort is about seventy percent finished, so you are not buying into a never ending construction site. Instead you see the vision but can enjoy things as they are now.

Over sixty resort amenities are dotted around, from wellness areas to restaurants and swimming pools. Even forest trails if you want to walk or run under old trees. The cafe is close if you want fresh bread or a real French coffee in the morning. You can be at the local train station in under five minutes and it is a straight shot up to Paris for weekends or work. The airport in Limoges is about forty minutes by car, so visits from friends are easy to arrange. Freehold title gives you all the security of owning a normal home in France.

There is something about living surrounded by greenery but still having everything looked after for you. You only really get a sense of it when you stand inside, look through the windows and breathe the air. If you are curious or want a real walk through let me know any time. It is your move and we are here to make it feel as easy as it should be.
