This 64 m² cottage was restored inside one of the farm's old buildings. The thickness of its walls keeps the ground floor cool through the summer, without air conditioning. Upstairs, where the bedroom and shower room are, does not stay as cool.
Completely detached, with its own private parking, it looks out over the mountains.
On the ground floor, a living room with a sofa bed and a kitchen area. Upstairs, a bedroom with a 140 cm double bed and a shower room.

The last 500 metres
Access is by 500 metres of sloping dirt track. It is the only drawback that comes up in the reviews, and the reviews themselves disagree: “steep but no problem even with a low car”, says one; “don't come with a car that sits too low”, says another. A small car will manage; a very low-slung one needs care. What guests say.
