The independent guest house (approximately 70 sq m), accessible from the courtyard or the Burgundian-style gallery, offers a self-contained space blending authenticity and comfort: a living room with a bread oven and French-style ceilings, a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and storage. Set on a 630 sq m plot, the property boasts a west-facing terraced garden with panoramic views over the valley, a true haven of tranquility in the heart of the village.
