The entire home is available on request or on availability. For smaller groups only one of the apartments will be available. We do not however, rent the other apt, while you are staying at the ville. Only the owners (husband/wife) may use it occasionally. Theya re very discreet. Guests will be notified of this before any reservations are made. It's actually nice to have owners there as they make great italian food. :-)
