A home for your holidays, where past, present and future come together and blend in splendid harmony. A large window brings the sun in every room, while the lush greenery surrounding it regales guests with beautiful colors and perfumes. The old ‘secou’ from 1871, once a building where chestnuts were dried, seamlessly flows into a wooden chalet with modern minimalist interiors. A renovation in tune with the historical heritage of the building, that revolves around beauty of nature.

THE ‘SECOU’
A cozy embrace
THE BEDROOM
The black walls reveal the origins of this part of the chalet, the old ‘secou’ where chestnuts were dried, an activity that blackened the mighty stone walls. Today, it is ready to welcome you with its comfortable double bed.
Relax and unwind
THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN
Brightened by the large window, this part of the chalet is framed by beautiful wood paneling. One side is dedicated to the kitchen with an induction cook top, refrigerator, dishes and cookware for meals. A coffee machine and a kettle with a selection of teas and herbal teas can also be found here.
The other side of the room is designed for recreation and rest, with a satellite TV where you can also watch Netflix and wireless Bluetooth speakers.

A kaleidoscope of emotions
THE GARDEN
1300 square meters of garden, entirely yours for the duration of your stay. Here, in Summer, green and blue chase one another to the rhythm of crickets, while in Winter silence and white reign supreme, those same lawns then explode with the colors of Spring that in Autumn are painted with gold. Just sit in front of the window or in the garden to admire the wonder of the seasons.
