Constructed upon the foundation of two traditional kamares, which are vaulted high-ceiling houses - among the largest on the island - dating back to the late 18th century, alongside a neoclassical captaincy from the early 20th century, this property boasts a distinctive character with approximately 480 square meters of living space.
Undergoing extensive renovation in 2013, the property was restored to its original grandeur while integrating modern amenities such as heating and cooling system beneath newly polished resinated natural clay floors, a heat pump, double-glazed windows, and solar water heaters. Some original features have been kept, like stone and tiled floors or painted ceiling.
Upon meeting the owner, I was asked where I would prefer to sit, and as I explored the house later, I realised that any space would have been comfortable. The layout of the house and its gardens resembles a maze, offering its residents ample privacy. Consequently, describing the house comprehensively proves challenging, as it's essential to do justice to its original design.
The majority of the living space is situated on the ground floor, except for the sitting room and bedroom of the old captaincy, which are located on the first floor. The captaincy is directly connected to the main kamares (325 sqm), while the second kamares (155 sqm) is separated by a water fountain. Additionally, there is a studio and a bathroom, totalling five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two kitchens (one in each of the kamares), three sitting rooms, and four chimneys.
The garden surrounding the house features various sections catering to different needs: a covered veranda for larger gatherings, small patios ideal for morning coffee or quiet reading, a "jardin de curé" for cultivating kitchen herbs, and patios adorned with beautiful fruit trees and plants.
You enter the property by car from behind the village through a large alley with ample parking space, or on foot behind the village church.
