It has been tastefully renovated and furnished to maintain its original character. There is a cliff-top terraced garden accessed by a spiral staircase from the top floor of the house. It has a BBQ on the main terrace and beautiful views across the valley as well as of the Vezere and the town. There is also a balcony at the front of the house overlooking the river.

About the host
Hosted by Tony Lister
Tony is a retired engineer whose main residence is in London. He spends the months outside the holiday season at his house here in Le Bugue. He bought the property in 2018 and has enjoyed renovating the house and the garden. In fact he has transformed the garden, adding the BBQ terrace and spiral stair access. He loves going on bike rides in the beautiful countryside all around Le Bugue.
What makes this property unique
What is unique about this house is its proximity to town and countryside. A footpath accessed less than 100 metres up the road from the house is a gateway to several different routes for rambling. Routes starting from this path up the hillside can bring the hiker back into Le Bugue from any one of three directions!
This property is ideal for a couple who enjoy country walks as well as having the amenities of the town such as cafes, restaurants and farmers' market twice a week. And, of course, Le Bugue is an ideal base for exploring the historic and beautiful surrounding area.
