Extra Information: 

*The swimming pool will be closed from mid-October - Mid-April/May 

*The house has natural airco. What is meant by this is that the environment and the structure of the building offer cooling. At an altitude of 500m, the nights are relatively cool (even in the hottest months). This, in combination with the meter-thick walls, and the use of the shutters, makes the house a very pleasant place, throughout spring, summer, and fall.
