Description:

This refurbished ancient house is attached to the village, yet stands alone, built on rock, surrounded by tropical vegetation with a panoramic view. It overlooks a chapel on one side, and faces the mountains and the valley where sheep pass contemplating the sea below. Mostly furnished with fine paintings and family heirlooms from Chateau Beychevelle (known for its remarkable wine ) that belonged to the family for over a hundred years in the Bordeaux region. The house is modestly grand, yet comfortable and charming with a quiet subdued elegance. Famous writers, polititians and painters have sejourned here.
