The house is situated in a nearly 1-hectare beautiful natural environment and boasts a stunning panoramic view, where tranquility and closeness to nature are guaranteed.

We provide opportunities to feed the animals.

In the well-equipped kitchen, you will find everything you need to prepare dinner if you don’t feel like going to a restaurant or ordering in.
