Farmhouse with 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Garden, Swimming Pool
Le Bugat is surrounded by fields used for sunflowers, wheat, beets and hay. Set on a gentle rise within a sheltered valley, there are views to all sides which include those of an historic chateau (1km). Le Bugat is converted from one of the huge barns on site, incorporating a wall from an 11th century chapel, which, with part of the barn, now forms a sheltered garden. The feeling inside is light and airy and very traditionally French. The area has lots of wild life, many walks, and the quiet roads are perfect for cycling. Dausse (3kms) has general shops and St. Sylvestre is 10 minutes. Nearest Main Town: Villeneuve-sur-Lot – 20 minutes

The pool has a Pierre du Lot (crazy paved) terrace and swimmers are advised to use the steps on entering and leaving as it is un-even around the edges of the pool.
