Basic products will be provided (salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee, sugar). The dining area consists of a beautiful and very rustic bar-height table accompanied by 2 stools that are old tractor seats. In the living area, you have a comfortable sofa near the stove, which heats the whole house very well and above all creates a nice atmosphere. It's very pleasant after a short walk in winter! The toilet (under the stairs) is dry with a system that separates urine and feces, which helps reduce any odors. It is to be used exclusively in a sitting position by everyone! Upstairs you will find a very bright and very cozy bedroom with a very nice view from the triangular gable, which is completely glazed but equipped with curtains for the night. The bedroom has a 160 x 200 cm bed (bedding provided) with a beautiful headboard, wooden bedside tables, and a small dresser. Your bathroom will also be upstairs. The bathroom has a walnut cabinet, a beautiful river pebble sink, a Zellige-tiled shower and a towel rail. The house is perfect for a couple.
