3 bathrooms will allow each family to have their independence in the interior space.
The common room is very warm, for fireside evenings in winter, or large tables. The interior architecture has kept the proportions of the old days, with doors and windows with rustic dimensions. Openings were created during the renovation for a very beautiful light inside the house.
All the electricity in the house is redone, and provides all the electrical comfort for everyone's needs.
The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped and functional, all the small household appliances are available for cooking and gastronomy enthusiasts (yogurt maker, 2 raclette machines, waffle machine, mixers, substantial cookware ...).
