Casa da Colmeia, a pretty farmhouse for relaxation & rest (maximum 5 people)

Patio doors from the bedrooms lead onto the courtyard. There is a single foldaway bed suitable for a child or small adult for additional use if needed.

The dining area has a farmhouse dining table with seating for six (6) people. The lounge is also equipped with a TV / video (CD & VMS), and a writing desk.

On the first floor is a large open sitting room and dining area with seating for six (6) people. The area is equipped with a writing desk, TV / video (CD) and a well-stocked bookcase.

The fully fitted kitchen is just off the dining room and is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, cooker and fridge

The house has been renovated to a very high standard with all modern utilities but it still retains its original ambience and period style. The positioning of the house coupled with the old thick granite walls ensure, a pleasant temperature in the house all year round - even in the height of the summer.

The house originally housed the farm workers on the first floor with the larger farm animals sleeping below - when the house was a working-farm it was traditional for the workers to sleep above the animals for the additional warmth they brought.

The house is strictly non-smoking.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Relaxant

Superbe endroit, où l’on a pu se détendre totalement avec ma femme et mes enfants. L’endroit est calme et apaisant, le jardin très grand, avec de l’ombre, la piscine, et la quiétude loin de tout. Je recommande
