It is set within a private walled garden where a stylish private swimming pool was recently added. A comfortable sitting room opens onto a shaded terrace overlooking the pool, with a table and chairs perfect for outside eating.
This property is set on a private condominium of around 4 hectares of land surrounded by protected land due to the environmental interest of this location.
