About the house (interior and garden):
The guests love the stone roof, called 'lauze' roofing; it is typical but getting rarer and rarer in the region. The two millstones in the kitchen are also very impressive, not to mention the large fireplace and huge bread oven (the place also used to be the village’s bakery). All the furniture is in the local style.
Besides these traditional aspects, the house is well equipped with DVD player, dishwasher, freezer, microwave, traditional oven, washing machine, barbecue and garden furniture.
Since it was a watermill, a stream flows though the 10-acre property. One can relax by the stream but it can also be used for bathing and children love it! The house has been in the family for several generations so we have a deep knowledge of the area and can provide useful tips to make your stay unforgettable.
