Chemin de Gargamelle - Gite "Le Noyer"

Newly restored stone farmhouse from the early 1800's, converted into atmospheric 3 bedroom 2 bathroom luxury gite with share of pool. Set in the heart of beautiful countryside between Bordeaux and Bergerac, close to the mediaeval bastide town of Ste Foy La Grande, surrounded by vineyards, and close to the touristic sites of the Dordogne and local amenities. The property was an ancient winery for 200 years, now converted to modern amenities, but retaining the old charm and warmth of oak beams, terracotta floors and stone walls. Warm in the winter with wood burning stove and underfloor heating, cool in the summer with its thick stone walls, thermal double glazing and thick shutters. The property has a new luxury, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, together with dishwasher and washing machine, looking out onto its own private covered patio, and small garden area, making it ideal for family holidays. Guests have access to a shared pool (heated) during summer months, and have their own covered dining area and access to a small private garden. Private parking is available in the courtyard. Ligueux with its 170 inhabitants is one of the smallest communes in Acquitaine.
