Notes on accommodation
These stone houses remain cool in the heat of the summer; the electric heating ensures they are cosy in the winter.
Sorry, no pets allowed.
Outside
5 Rue Caterine: The walled garden is located across the narrow lane (no cars) from the kitchen door. The garden is mostly surfaced with gravel. A paved terrace with a roof shades a large stone table and bench. Further seating is available, along with a barbecue.
7 Rue Caterine: Paved terraced entrance, along the length of the cottage, bordered on the opposite side by a ruined medieval inn. At the top by the kitchen door there is a dining table and barbecue, shaded by a jasmine vine.
The beautiful pool is accessed with a key. It is shared between the cottages and may also be used by the residents of the chateau (we aim to give you priority if we are there). A poolhouse with kitchenette and bathroom is situated next to the pool, and another large dining table is located nearby for your use. The pool (16m x 6.75m) is 5m deep; the shallow end has steps. It is currently unheated. There is decking for sunbathing, and a seating area under the pine trees.
