If you're lucky, you can also see at dusk, wild boars, foxes, or deer on the pathway as well as nozzles and vultures in the air.

Access to the cottage is via a few steps. The mobile phone goes best at the terrace and bathroom level, but it depends on the operators and you have the option to call via wifi (Watsapp, Messenger). Within a year, we'll even have access to fiber. As our concern is your complete satisfaction, we do not recommend this place for people with low mobility and people looking for the paved and sanitized streets of our cities.
