Artisan decorator, I had at heart to make our cottage a warm cocoon in the colors of the South.
The choice of construction and decoration materials will have been dictated by a concern for respect for the environment, enhancement of traditional know-how and comfort of our guests: wooden construction, "tradition" channel tile roofing, earth floors baked, cement tiles and wooden floors, Catalan earthenware and glass paste on the walls, curtains in traditional weaving, antique furniture in leather and wood, above ground wooden pool, etc. without ignoring modern comfort: free Wi Fi, fully equipped kitchen and shower rooms, quality bedding, TV, etc.
To take full advantage of Nature, a large wooden terrace and a shaded garden offer spaces for relaxation and games, with a beautiful unobstructed view of the fadarelles valley. An above ground wooden swimming pool allows you to cool off in the hot summer hours (removable access ladder for the safety of children - and their parents! )
The village of Aubais, renowned for its castle, its art galleries and its bullfighting traditions, offers all the shops and local services (including Health) necessary for a peaceful holiday, including several restaurants and a pizzeria, all 5 minutes walk from the cottage.
