If this spirit suits you, you can contact me (via a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION) so that we can mutually ensure that your project corresponds to the hosting project of the house (it is much more than a simple rental of a cottage where you collect the keys on arrival and put them back in the mailbox when you leave :) I specify that the entire large house is at your disposal (with all the bedrooms, kitchen, living room and 2 bathrooms in particular) and, if you wish, shared with Bernadette: a summer kitchen (with fridges and freezer) + an additional bathroom located on the ground floor of the small adjoining house + all the exteriors. A few weeks before, I will send you an email to easily find our house from the national road (6 km) and within the hamlet of Bitas.
