The entrance reveals a hall that harmoniously connects the various living areas. The separate kitchen, fully fitted in a Provençal style, opens onto a cosy dining room which flows into a lounge featuring a wood-burning stove. The stone walls, Burgundy stone floors punctuated with terracotta cabochons, and the generous proportions lend the whole property an elegant and authentic atmosphere.
