Cool in summer and wood-burning in winter... what could be better! Over 30m² of convivial living space with small lounge and TV, dining area for 6 and fully-equipped open-plan kitchen. The hallway leads to the shower room with vanity unit and shower, a toilet and a laundry room. The first floor features 3 bedrooms and a toilet: 2 bedrooms with double beds (140 x 190 cm) and one bedroom with 2 single beds (90 x 190 cm). Outside, access the terrace from the living room. Garden furniture and lounges await you. Depending on the weather, you can enjoy the shade or the sun thanks to the different landscaped areas. The white tufa rock contrasts pleasantly with the green vegetation. A section dug into the stone hides an ancient wine press. This cellar, home to swallows, can also be an ideal refuge on hot summer days. Families with children can let their little adventurers roam freely in this unusual space, naturally enclosed by rock and gate. The owners, who have renovated this beautiful building, live in the house next door and are happy to help their guests during their stay.
