THINGS YOU MIGHT LOVE OR HATE:
THE ROAD:
You have to drive through a 500 m. dirt road to get to the house . It is what keeps the valley Hidden, and it is  perfect for a walk.
THE CATS:
There are free cats roaming around the house and garden. They are very friendly and will come up to you for feeding and pampering.
THE QUIET:
It is very quiet (except for the rooster and frogs).Â
You are expected to respect this. This is not a house for wild parties.
THERE ARE VERY FEW AND LOW LIGHTS OUTSIDE:
We try to keep artificial light as low and as close to the house as possible. Light polution has an impact on  bird's and other animal's breeding and feeding habits.
BIOCLIMATIC DESIGNÂ vs AIRCONDITIONING:
The house is designed to be cooled by natural draft. We sacrificed this only in one room for the sake of the view so this room is the only one with airconditioning.
STEPPING STONES:
There are a few pathways with stepping stones. You will have to walk consciously.
