Welcome to our private, open-plan garden cottage with mountain views and an apple orchard right outside your door. This beautiful air-conditioned one-bedroom cottage features a comfortable king-size bed, a lounge area, a small dining table with two chairs, and a Nespresso coffee and tea station with a mini fridge. Please note there is no full kitchen, but a convenient kitchenette is available, equipped with a microwave, air fryer, crockery, and cutlery, perfect for preparing light meals and snacks.. The separate bathroom includes a large hot shower, toilet, and basin. While there’s no kitchen, there are many lovely places to eat nearby, or you can purchase and enjoy a delicious homemade pasta or pizza, freshly prepared in the host’s kitchen and delivered to your cottage, perfectly paired with a bottle of wine.
