Ste-Alvère is a classic Perigourdine village with a butcher, bakeries, bank and simple restaurants as well as a post office and gas station. Set on a quiet lane in the village, you can walk to all the shops from this three-story house with stucco and stone façade and burgundy shutters. And an array of other charming towns and villages along with all the historic sights of the region are just short drives away.
Built on three levels, the house is spacious and well renovated. It is light and airy with high ceilings and tall windows in each room.
