Les Bruguettes

The Property

Les Bruguettes consists of an ensemble of two stone country houses connected by two large terraces and a large swimming pool. The property lies in the heart of the Perigord Noir, one of the still unspoilt areas of France just 3km from the Dordogne River away. Located on a hill in the midst of lush nature it offers a magnificent view to the southwest with unforgettable sunsets being guaranteed.

Both houses have their own kitchen and a total of 5 bedrooms and can accommodate up to 12 persons. This makes Les Bruguettes the ideal place for 2 to 3 families who want to spend their holidays together without close spatial proximity. The swimming pool is about 15 meters distant from the house, so that the activities around the pool do not interfere with the live on the terraces.

Guests about Les Bruguettes

Les Bruguettes is wonderfully secluded in a green, hilly and wooded area. Our expectations in terms of location, equipment and atmosphere of the 2 farmhouses were exceeded. The condition was very well maintained. We felt very well prepared by the landlord and / or the manager. Everything was fine. Thanks again for the many helpful tips for excursions in the area. You have enriched the stay for us as a small family.
Thank you very much.

As cyclists and river bathers, we got our money's worth. The Dordogne near Limeuil is not far, bathing in the clear water is a dream. When we didn't feel like going on an excursion, our own pool was always inviting and the peace and quiet was very relaxing.We visited the really recommendable restaurant next to the old abbey in Paunat twice a week. Reservation absolutely necessary. - We'll be back with the extended family. The 2 houses offer the best conditions for bigger groups. We are all really looking forward to it. Thanks!

House history and ownership: About 25 years ago our family acquired Les Bruguettes in a joint decision of parents and children. Today the property is being managed by my sister and me and regularly shared with family and friends. Over time we have gradually improved our little paradise and made it more comfortable, even if there is still much left to do. We like simplicity and want to offer Les Bruguettes at an affordable price to our guests, who enjoy nature, sports and extended barbecues in nice company.
