The three existing chimneys are conserved in the two rooms and kitchen of the original house and the oven in the patio, the true heart of the house. Private pool 3.2 x 2.2 x 0.9 m, in season

Estupenda casa, muy rural
La casa es estupenda, limpia y cuidada, con una decoración r ústica muy acogedora. La cocina está muy bien equipada. La alberca para bañarse le añade valor. Como recomendación creo que el exterior de la casa: patio y alrededores de la alberca deberían estar más cuidados.
