The beautiful wooden beams run across the length of the ceiling and continue into the living room, where you will find large comfortable sofas, an enormous fireplace and books and games to keep you entertained.
The smaller villa features one main room with a fireplace and a private garden.
Outside, you will find the covered 'summer kitchen' for late dinners or for keeping cool in the midday heat. Originally a barn, the summer kitchen is partly open on 3 sides looking over the pool and neighbouring countryside.
New for the 2020 season, there is also a saltwater, heated pool with an electric cover. The saltwater is an alternate to chlorine which means there are fewer risks for allergies and irritation to your eyes or skin. The pool will be open between April and October.
Both villas also have satellite TV, DVD player and portable speakers for relaxing evenings amongst friends and family.
