Upstairs, a large bedroom lined with bay windows gives access to the garden and heated pool (from April to early October) and outdoor Jacuzzi (covered in case of rain) for four people. In the bedroom there is a luxurious spa bath, a shower room and an office area. The bedroom has air conditioning.

Bordering the bedroom, there is a winter garden with bay windows, heated by a pellet stove, equipped with a fridge, a kitchen countertop and large sofas around a coffee table and a large TV.

The Bivouac has a beautiful double room, facing the garden and an ideal place to stay as a couple.

The large kitchen, dishes, winter lounge and garden are perfect for a stay of four people.
