The house, mainly built in the 16th century on the heights of the hilltop village, is reached via cobbled medieval alleyways. A driveway leads from the entrance gate to a patio enhancing the south-eastern main facade at right angles. Four different roofs with local tiles, one- or two-pitched, clearly set apart the various sections of this atypical building.
The property has a floor area of approx. 350 m² extending over three stories. A contemporary 1980s extension, fronted by a wood and glass conservatory, adjoins the first main section, which is the original part of the house and abuts the old tower.
All the facades are of old, rough-hewn stone, some combined with brick, some rendered and some half-timbered, a reminder of the many different historical periods and the unique character of the local architecture. The windows are arranged symmetrically or irregularly depending on the facade and vary widely in size. They are mainly rectangular or arched.
Finally, a terrace extends from the garden level, which features a swimming pool. The wooded, lawned grounds to the rear of the building are enclosed by walls.

The village house

The ground floor
The south-facing main entrance opens directly into a sitting room with large white floor tiles and limewashed walls, currently used as a billiards room. Located in the most recent part of the residence, it is spacious and contemporary in style. The wood and glass conservatory lets the sunlight pour in, as the two rooms form a single space. The huge glass doors to the south-east open up the double living space, which is the centrepiece of the residence. The conservatory, which abuts the original building, is flanked on one side by a half-timbered stone wall. An old door opens onto an original bedroom with exposed stone walls, awaiting complete restoration. Continuing on from the sitting room, there is a vast bedroom with medieval features, stone walls, wide ceiling beams and pointed windows. The large, fully equipped kitchen with high stone walls and access to the patio follows. During the summer months, the patio becomes an al fresco dining room. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which could be used as a guest accommodation if required.
The upstairs
The upper floor is an independent dwelling in a completely different style: two steps lead from the living room to the open-plan kitchen. Here, all the architectural features are authentic, with beams and stone walls. The kitchen area below is accessed by two wooden steps. A monumental fireplace heats the entire living room. Wood, brick and stone are ever-present in the different rooms on the upper floor, which also includes a bedroom and a separate bathroom. This level opens directly onto the walled garden, which is enhanced by a perron with a tiled canopy. This spacious area is an undeniable asset of the residence, as it is very rare in such a village. Finally, to the right of the kitchen, there is a spiral steel staircase leading to a study.
The garden-level floor
Here, the spirit and atmosphere are quite different from those on the other levels, confirming the very special identity of the residence. A staircase leading down from the conservatory/living room provides access to the garden level, which comprises a bedroom opening onto a large winter sitting room with a colourful mix of blue, green, yellow and orange tiles. Three large round-arched glass doors with wooden frames, in line with those of the conservatory upstairs, open onto the swimming pool (approx. 12 x 6 m), its wooden decking and the adjoining terrace. The sweeping view over the village and surrounding area is exceptionally unobstructed.
