This peaceful place promises a sweet and serene life, lulled by the sounds of the ocean and floral fragrances. First, this 163 m² property, which has had multiple lives, was a military building.

Finally, in 1936, the same premises housed a youth hostel. With its breathtaking sea view, the house was designed to offer this natural spectacle at every moment. On the ground floor, it offers two welcoming bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a spacious garage. Upstairs, on the garden level, the living area opens onto a light-filled lounge, where a pellet stove and a fireplace create a warm atmosphere on winter evenings.
