A lovely 2 week stay in this stunning part of mid-southern France! 30 mins drive from Bergerac Airport with 1 hour flight time via London City (which we had to use for a brief return to the UK mid stay); 6 hours drive from Paris; 2 hours drive to Bordeaux or 8 to Calais for a UK tunnel crossing.
Gite came fully equipped with all we needed as a multi generational family of 6. Village of Sainte-Alvère is 10 mins walk - 5 if you are fit! There you will find a bar/tabac, Pharmacy, 2 boulangeries, a post office a decent size general store plus 2 very good restaurants. We tried/used all of these amenities throughout the stay and highly recommend all for their purpose! 20 mins drive to the market town of Le Bugue with 3 major supermarkets, many bars, restaurants, banks, tabac's, Post Office etc so all you need if not in the local village - even 'Duck Gym' which considering it is located in a rural area was very well equipped and well priced at €20 per week to use without restriction.
We loved the gite, the area & the region - Brandan was helpful and on hand as our host. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. 6 acres of garden space so plenty of space to kick a rugby / football around, play badminton, petanque or anything you wish as it affords personal space for all too. Pool decent size and kept clean twice a day by the hosts. One warning, it is rural, and as an old mill it is surrounded by streams (some are clogged so lots of night time 'midgy' activity so bring mozzy spray!
