The large number of windows on both sides of the house allows plenty of light at all times of the day, making it a perfect place for filming and photo shooting; notwithstanding, the house remains fresh during the summer days thanks to its thick stone walls. Through the entrance door, there is direct access to the main living room. The classic and refined interior decoration complements the graceful architecture of this house. Lots of comfortable sofas are awaiting guests in the three distinct living rooms in enfilade; one of them is a TV room and another benefits from a beautiful stone fireplace.

The open dining area is composed of a stylish and unassuming wood table with benches. The house can accommodate up to 11 people maximum in a total of 5 bedrooms. Three of them can be found on the ground floor and have en-suite bathrooms with either bathtub or shower; the other two bedrooms are located on the first floor, one of them has an en-suite shower room and the other is a large bedroom with a double bed, a sofa bed and extra mattresses for children’s use.
