We are happy to share the use of our swimming pool and all of the outdoor equipment. Accommodation: (Note: in July and August: reservations from Saturday to Saturday only) Life in our little farmhouse from the 70s is very relaxing! Life here is friendly, calm and completely cut off from city nuisances. Outside the village and perched in the heart of nature, the apartment is freshly renovated. We have opened it for rental since Easter 2018. (Access and separate entrance). It replaced the rental of the private room we offered last year. Travelers will then be even better settled for an unforgettable holiday. This cozy little nest of 30m2 is ideal for a single couple or a couple with 1 or 2 children. Please note that the second bed is a sofa bed (bench, bed size 120x185cm) comfortable in the same room as the main double bed. The accommodation consists of a main living room of 16m2 fully equipped (TV, storage, wardrobe, convertible sofa ...), an equipped kitchen (induction hob, oven, microwave, coffee machine, fridge .. .) and a bathroom with toilet. Access for travelers: You have access to your own shaded private terrace facing south towards the garden and swimming pool. The other exterior fittings are shared with us, the owners; Swimming pool, summer kitchen, barbecue, plancha, garden furniture, sunbathing ... Exchanges with travelers: We live on site, in the upper part of the house. Our entrance is located on the other side of your private access. We are not far away if you need something, but we know how to be discreet. You can order a meal or a tasting from us, let yourself be tempted by your delicacies. (Choice and conditions to be seen on site). We are a couple (37 years old), good living, we like to walk, garden, tinker, eat well and drink well. I am a self-employed cabinetmaker and make wooden objects for individuals and professionals. (Décorabois.
