Outside
Our farmhouse is built around a central courtyard which provides a really secluded area for eating and relaxing. This, and the rooftop sun terrace, are equipped with outdoor furniture and parasols plus we have a barbecue which can be used in any of the outdoor areas. There is an unheated rooftop pool (5m x 3m) with a bench seat running along 1 side which is perfect for cooling off or just sitting in to read. Off the back of the lounge is another small, sun terrace which is particularly nice for enjoying the morning sun.
