Do you and your family love animals? So much the better ! A joyful Noah's Ark will return this Love to you a hundredfold: donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, ducks, peacocks, swans, chickens live freely and let themselves be petted! The space The lodge, in a modern style, is very bright with its large openings, including a bay window opening onto a terrace and an all-wooden pergola inviting you to enjoy the magnificent 360° view! Everything is new and functional (air conditioning, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, microwave, kettle, Senseo coffee maker, etc.) The master bedroom upstairs has a skylight just above the bed, enough to sleep with your head in the stars! A remote control allows you to close it at will. The second bedroom has two single beds (third bed possible) Guest access You have access to the entire lodge, plus a private terrace / pergola. You also have full access to the estate (over 6 hectares). You can thus walk in a magnificent site, to meet the many animals (tamed) which live there in freedom.
