A Home with History and Heart
Carefully renovated to preserve its character, this house has stories to tell. For over 50 years, swallows have returned here each spring, building their nests under the eaves.

Nature at Your Doorstep
Nestled at the foot of picturesque mountains, this home offers breathtaking views and fresh air. Step outside to explore scenic trails, with changing landscapes that offer beauty year-round.
The Best of Both Worlds
While peacefully tucked away in nature, the city is just a short drive away. Enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, while being close to urban conveniences like shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
Highlights of Your Stay
