Description from owner
Description
Our 'Songbird Sanctuary" has two traditional guest houses and a fabulous "troglogite", you can rent one or combine them, making a perfect trip for one to 18 people!
Here, you are reading about our three bedroom main house, ‘The Swan’. It is 165m², with a kitchen, two bathrooms, lots of comfortable spread-out space and three bedrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with full size refrigerator and freezer, four burner gas stove top, electric oven, dishwasher and small appliances. There is a shower in the downstairs bathroom and a bathtub in the upstairs bathroom. There is a clothes washer and dryer in the downstairs bathroom.
Coming from the other courtyard, you find the other traditional gite, an 80m² charmer called ‘The Dove’, which has a fully equipped open kitchen in the living/dining room space, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Sharing that courtyard is our fabulous troglogite, 'The Skylark', a spacious 80m², with large living/dining/den space, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in three contiguous caves.
The property is set up on three levels. There is a lovely pathway to the left, leading to the courtyard where you will find the Swan on the second level, and a staircase on the right, leading to the courtyard where you will find the Dove and Skylark, also on the second level. There is also a road that leads to this courtyard, so that you can bring your luggage up to the Dove or Skylark by car, before parking back down on the lower level.
The courtyards on both sides have a steep but beautiful stone staircase leading up to the land above the caves, which is our third level. At the street, we have several caves cut into the rock and forming the foundations of the house above. Here we have the laundry that the Dove and Skylark share, and one enclosed parking - there is additional outdoor parking both on the property and on a piece of land we have just down the street. We also keep several bicycles in our ground-floor caves, that you are welcome to use.
The place is beautifully quiet, however there is a train track that passes right behind the houses on the other side of the road. We are a bit removed from that, since the gites are on the courtyards up on the second level, not directly facing the street - and are therefore somewhat shielded. There is no visual connection but you will be aware of the occasional train when it goes by.
The previous owners were bird lovers, and had built some lovely nesting places into the cliff face, hence our decision on the names.
