Beautifully restored stone pigeonnier

Nestled in an orchard with far reaching views over the countryside, Rataboul is a beautiful and peaceful 19th century pigeonnier, tastefully restored in a modern and comfortable style. New for summer 2021! An above ground outdoor swimming pool (6.25m X 3.75m), enveloped in the stone walls of an ancient barn. Shared with the owners, the pool will be a wonderful place to relax and refresh, after a day of exploring. A fabulous retreat for a couple, with additional space for two children or adults on a sofa bed in the open-plan living room. Rataboul pigeonnier sits in a large garden, and it has a south-facing terrace equipped with table and chairs. Layout: Ground floor: Entrance to open plan dining room / kitchen and living room. Fully equipped kitchen with dining table and seating for four people. Living room with sofa and sofa-bed and doors leading to south-facing terrace and garden. First floor: Staircase leading to open-plan double bedroom with king size bed (can also be 2 twin beds). Bathroom with washbasin and shower.
