The bungalows

Built mainly in precious wood, our 6 bungalows represent the spirit of the hotel. Calm, aeration and freshness. Small and comfortable, they all have a small safe, a wardrobe and a luggage rack. A small terrace with a view of the garden also allows you to work there or rest quietly while enjoying the view of the garden.
