There is an original marble fireplace, traditional tiled floors and decorative plasterwork on ceiling and walls plus large shuttered French windows which allow access to a small balcony at the front of the house. The apartment is at the front of the house facing east so the morning sun floods the apartment through the floor to ceiling french doors. The apartment is centrally heated for the cooling winter evening and so makes a perfect base from which to explore the area, househunt, holiday or just spend some quality time in the relaxing sunshine of the south of France. For those who must there is access to the internet via WIFI within the apartment!
