THE PLEASURE OF SLOWING DOWN

A garden. A pool.
So many ways to enjoy them.

The pool

At the heart of the property, a circular pool measuring 8 metres across invites you to cool off. Unheated, illuminated and surrounded by protective barriers, it is open from 1 June to 30 October, with 24-hour access during this period. Sun loungers, parasols and an outdoor shower complete your time in the garden.

At your own pace

A game on the volleyball court, a round of pétanque or a badminton rally with rackets provided: rediscover the pleasure of playing together. Mölkky, darts, children’s games and board games, including Crazy Eights, keep everyone entertained. Or simply settle into a hammock.

Thoughtful touches

Free parking within the property, a bar at reception and breakfast on request at an additional charge. When in season, oranges, clementines and figs are yours to enjoy, picked straight from the trees.
