Next to the summer house is the stone barbecue inviting poolside lunch parties and aperitifs during long summer evenings…a real heavenly corner !

Leisure activities

We have tried to think of everything to keep the young and old amused all year round !

Spend hot afternoons lazing around the pool on one of the sunloungers…while the summer house and garden table and chairs invite you to have lunch by the pool or dine outside on balmy summer evenings.
Our maintenance staff will call by during your stay to ensure the upkeep of the pool and the terrace.
(*The swimming-pool heating system is an areothermal heat pomp, the most used system for heating an outside pool). The pomp uses calories in the air to  heat the water of the pool circulating in the pump, therefore, we cannot garantee that the pool will be at 28°C if the temperature of the air is below 12°C.)
