The house is thought to date back to the 14th century and was restored in the 1970s. The most difficult part of your stay will be deciding which of the home's five spacious, character-rich bedrooms you'd like to use! All four double-bedded options and the twin room offer ensuite bathrooms and uniquely beautiful views.

Enjoy the home's fully fitted kitchen before sitting down for meals or drinks at the generously sized dining room table or on the pergola, which offers stunning views and the shade of fragrant foliage such as wisteria, honeysuckle, and jasmine.

Impeccable cooking by the home's private chef and daily cleaning/laundry service are available but not included in the auction. This service can be arranged for you before your visit or on arrival. This service is highly recommended. Chauffeur-driven transport is available for day trips at an additional cost.
