Situated in a hamlet along a small lane, this pretty stone farmhouse is surrounded by countryside and has far reaching views. With 5 bedrooms and large, open-plan living spaces with doors out to the garden, this is a very cosy home in winter and fantastic retreat in the summer. Despite the quiet, rural location, the medieval town of Duras is just 5 mins away and Bergerac airport just a 45 min drive. The best of both worlds.
