The 35 square metre terrace provides an enjoyable outdoor living, a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, lovely evenings and nights where you can enjoy the moon and gaze at the stars. The 85 square metre indoor floor space has a comfortable sitting area and provides most home entertainments, LCD TV, DVD, CD player, iPod dock, books and games. The kitchen is fully equipped. Dining area is quaint with good quality crockery. Upstairs sleeping area is spacious and can sleep up to 3 comfortably but being a loft has limited privacy. The space uses an evaporative bio cooler to cool the air. The bathroom offers a wide shower enclosure. Although La Terrasse has an independent north entrance you are welcome to use the garden gate where you will find ample place for parking and a cool porch for the hot afternoons. We live in the next village Mouzieys-Panens (1.4 km) and we will always be available to ensure that your stay will be memorable.
