Property information

The view it is extraordinary! In the site you can see the castle and beautiful old houses all around. Balcony is massive and garden vastly huge. The rooms are roomy, very clean and comfortable. Garden is massive and planted with vegetables like tomatoes cucumbers green onions salads etc, available for guests if desire to eat bio diners in the house.

Neighbourhood information

Being in the middle of UNESCO protected area and generating Lord of The Rings feelings does not leave much room for explanation!
