But it is also perfect for 3 couples traveling together or just 1 couple celebrating an anniversary. It is a good place for anyone who wants to avoid the expence and bustle of fashionable resorts such as Nice or Chamonix.
2 bedrooms on the first floor, with double beds and wardrobes in each. Dining-sitting room, dining space for 10. A separate kitchen, a bathroom and a separate WC. 2 bedrooms on the ground floor (1 double, 1 ?? with twin beds), wardrobe in each. Sitting room with a sofa-bed. Shower room and a separate WC. The house has 2 entrances so you can divide early birds from those who sleep until 12 o'clock.
There is a garage and a parking space for 1 more car - in front of the gates. The property is fenced, both the garden and the house are safe for children. There are so many things to do all year round, for all ages that I wonder why people need TV? Though we have 2...
