About this home
A gorgeous multi-purpose living space opens up onto an over-water deck on the ground floor.
You’ll find a covered day bed for lazy days lounging in the sun, an outdoor dining table for lakeside lunches and a rowing boat bobbing nearby.
Back inside, the compact kitchen is kitted out with everything you might need for a self-catered stay.
At the same time, a spacious bathroom boasts a rainfall shower, stylish zellige tiles and a chandelier hanging over the freestanding Italian stone tub.
Ascend the spiral staircase up into the pitched roof, where your hosts have found space for a king-size bed.
Taller guests should note that the bed is located on a mezzanine level with limited headroom – it’s only accessible via a steep spiral staircase
Waking up to the sound of birdsong as you look out across the lake is worth the price of admission alone.
We’d recommend a car to explore the area – there’s on-site parking available
