Good to know

Guest access

The land of the property is very large. Guests can enjoy the patio and the paths around the house, but access to the land behind the house is limited because it is very steep and densely forested. A steep walkway leads to the house from the parking on street level, which may not be suitable for people in wheelchairs and the elderly.

Two houses, total privacy

The property includes two houses: the large villa and the cottage (also available). The two houses are completely independent, with separate utilities and locks. If both houses are occupied by different guests, the two groups will only see each other around the BBQ area. We ask that guests respect the privacy of other guests.
