Discover the nooks and crannies of the house
Our house is set up for having a good rest. Every space is equipped with all you need. Our drawing room encourages you to spend long post prandial conversations in front of the fire. You can enjoy playing board games with your friends in the living room, read in peace and forget the world. If you didn’t bring anything to read, you are sure to find something interesting in our library. Watch the birds in our garden while you listen to the birdsong. Eat lamb chops grilled over vine twigs or simply do nothing, a moment of relaxation, a parenthesis, the sweet idleness or “dolce far niente”, daydreaming, resting.

The trilling of countless species of birds (you can engage in some twitching from the rooms overlooking the courtyard or from the comfort of the armchairs in the lounge), competes with the bells of the omnipresent church tower.
