Style Notes
Modern luxury. This ancient farmhouse used to have stables, a barn, wine cellars and more, and has been completely renovated to provide a luxurious and homely place for families to stay. Set on 9,000 sqm. of land together with the original manor house, a summer home for the owners, it has an exclusive garden for guests. The former piggery has been transformed into a spa area with pool, hydro massage and massage table for beauty treatments, plus changing room and games room. We love the Tuscan touches (terracotta floor tiles, floral fabrics), the luxurious pool and the chic bedrooms.
