The accommodations are part of a large manor house with over one meter thick walls, has their own entrance and a private terrace in the beautiful garden with view on the vineyard slopes and a distant village with characteristic whitewashed houses. Enjoying the sun on your terrace you experience the peaceful quietness that is still to be found here. A slightly smaller studio (33 m2), but because of the special position of the shower and the use of color here, a nice space is created with the same amenities for a wonderful vacation in perhaps the most beautiful wine region in the world.More
