Villas de Leypinas is a collection of farm buildings, some of which date from the 18th century, set in beautiful rolling countryside. We are located in the rural commune of Saint Pardoux Corbier in the department of the Correze, south west France. In 2005 we purchased the farm and have spent all our time since renovating, restoring and converting the different buildings. Villas de Leypinas now consists of the main house with two en-suite bedrooms to rent and three villas, or gites, accommodating up to 11 guests in total; all enjoy access to the landscaped gardens and 12m x 5m salt water swimming pool. Our location means we are perfectly placed for a short stopover, being only 10 minutes from the north/south A20 motorway, or for a longer stay to enjoy the delights of the region and the highlights of the Dordogne which are only an hour away.

We are Paul and Jana Jenkins. We decided to leave the UK in 2018 and spent the following months searching for a home in France which was always our first choice of countries in which to settle. We found Villas de Leypinas by accident but there was never any doubt once we had visited for the first time, the quality of accommodation is a testament to the previous owner’s skills and taste. Within 3 months of discovering this place we had the keys and our dream began. We have both traveled extensively for business and pleasure so we understand what guests require. Maintaining the high standards set by the previous owners will be a challenge but we are ready to commence the next stage of our lives in this peaceful and beautiful part of France. Over the winter of 2019/20 we will make some changes to the property aimed at our younger visitors which will enhance the existing high quality accommodation.
