We have owned a holiday home in this locality for thirty years, and in 2000 we bought the neighbouring building, mainly because it was threatening to collapse onto our roof. It was a beautiful ruin, floors and stairs were missing and it hadn't been lived in for decades.
With the invaluable help of our neighbours, it has been restored and remodelled to provide three beautiful, spacious and simply furnished apartments. Using traditional materials and techniques and reusing whatever we could, they all have white walls, terracotta tiled floors and beams and fittings of chestnut, the local wood.
