As the property is unheated we do not usually let it in the coldest months of the year but for the truly hardy it is available for skiing! It has a large open fire in the living room kitchen, as well as a very efficient wood burning stove that is usually only lit when the temperature outside is well below zero as it can be at 800m alititude in january or February. Last winter was mild with very little snow, but who can tell?

| Notes: | We also have a three bed house adjacent (100m) available to rent (with Couche) this summer 2008. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on two floors, with combined kitchen living area to the ground floor opening to two terraces (south and west) through separate French windows. It has stone walls and a tiled floor at this level which will keep cool in the heat of the summer. If it turns chilly, there is new central heating and woodburner. This is an ideal place to put the grandparents who might appreciate the privacy and quiet, but still want to be near to the main party. Or perhaps the teenagers who don't have quite the same hours as their parents! For more info contact us. |
