A gazebo positioned next to the cottage provides a shaded and furnished outdoor dining area, complete with table and chairs, a barbecue, and a wood oven — the perfect setting for long summer dinners under a sky filled with stars, accompanied by the scent of burning wood and the sound of crickets. The exclusive wellness area is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive features of the property. The non-heated rectangular swimming pool, built in 2020, measures 8 by 6 metres with a depth ranging from 10 centimetres to 1.5 metres, and is equipped with night lighting.
