The property is divided into small private shaded areas and an olive grove. You can relax on deckchairs by the swimming pool, in the small garden or under the olive trees, in complete serenity, in a quiet and discreet conviviality. An tasty breakfast awaits you in the morning in the green garden or in front of your door. It is prepared with our local or home-made products. Every time you wander around the garden, you will be able to discover the creations and restoration of objects tastefully arranged by the proprietor. Indeed, this charming house has been restored by a collector and painter : The rooms combine comfort and originality. Two exterior rooms hidden in the garden with their private space allowing you to have breakfast in front of the room in complete privacy. A very unusual room: the Corsaire is a replica of an old pirate's three-masted cabin for a total change of scenery. A family room decorated as it was at the beginning of the last century.
