There are loads of wonderful restaurants in the old centre and over a dozen bakeries/patisseries within walking distance. Try a different croissant every day! There is a fantastic cheese shop, fishmongers, several butchers and many more fresh fruit and veg shops. And, of course great local wines available at great local prices. The shops all open early then close at 12.30 opening again at 3.30pm until 7.30pm. This house is ideal for foodies! Stroll in to town to buy up fresh seasonal ingredients before each meal and have long leisurely lunches and dinners. Punctuated by siestas and a dip in your pool...

Guest comments
The highlights for me were the bedrooms, bathrooms and courtyard which has inspired me to make my garden back home equally beautiful. What a wonderful house - feels like a multigenerational home where all ages are welcome. 2 master bedrooms allowed us much appreciated privacy! The house was private and really suited our needs. It was wonderful for everyone to be within walking distance to the village and be able to do their own thing.
House swap
