Lovely Stone House with Private Heated Pool

Full of character and traditional features it offers comfortable accommodation for up to 8 guests. With its four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, cosy lounge and large newly refurbished summer kitchen opening onto the pool area, it is ideal for two families travelling together.
The house is situated on the small square in the centre of the village, just opposite the church, and with its lake and restaurant within easy walking distance. Access to the property can be made in three ways.
