The pool
Seventeen meters, to really swim.
Long enough for laps, heated in season, with lawn on one side and a wooden deck on the other. The loungers are in the shade of the oaks or in the sun, as you prefer. On your day of departure, once the room is handed back, the garden and pool are yours until 4 pm, at no extra charge.
« The pool is shaded by trees which makes for an incredibly refreshing dip when the summer heat overwhelms. »
« Huge grounds, with a big pool area so it never feels crowded with other guests. »

As evening falls
When the pool lights up.
The trees are lit, and so is the water. A drink by the pool, the cicadas singing, and the village a ten-minute walk away for dinner. Quiet hours begin at 10 pm: silence is part of the garden.
« It was a pleasure to enjoy the surroundings and cicada noises while sipping some wine by the pool. »
« The peacefulness of this property day and night is hard to describe. »

FAQ
The garden, in practice.
Is the pool heated?
Yes. The outdoor pool, about 17 × 6 m, is heated: the water stays between 26 and 29 °C through the season, depending on the weather. In the height of summer, in July and August, the sun does the work and the heating is switched off. After an hour in the sun, the first dive can feel cool: that is the contrast, not the water.
Can we use the pool on the day we leave?
Yes. Check-out is by 11 am; once the room is free, the garden and pool are yours until 4 pm, at no extra charge.
Is the garden shared with other guests?
With the guests of the five rooms at most, twelve people, across two and a half hectares. To have it to yourselves, the whole house can be booked.
Are there loungers and shade?
Yes. Loungers line the pool, in the sun or in the shade of the oaks, with parasols and a lounge corner on the wooden deck.
Are there any garden rules?
Few: quiet hours run from 10 pm to 8 am, parties are not allowed, and smoking is not permitted indoors (there are spaces outside).
