Please Note
It is a delight to stay in this beautiful, historic home! Staying here comes with all the modern comfort except for a few things. In order to preserve the genuine historicity of the property, there are no lifts, stairlifts, swimming pool, or air conditioning. This might present some inconveniences, but everything is dedicated to ensuring your comfort during your stay.
The house has been built in such a way that it benefits from natural air-conditioning. This is achieved through ancient building design: thick walls, smaller windows, the use of shutters, and the airflow through the property. When shutters are closed during the day and opened at the end of the day, the temperature inside remains most agreeable.
