*Taire du Grel, Domme*
COTE DU GREL GITE...
This picturesque stone cottage has a private fenced garden with sun loungers and a barbecue.
A sweeping stone staircase leads to its spacious balcony overlooking the garden, with views of the forest covered hills. The balcony has a table and chairs and exterior lighting, the ideal place to watch the hot air balloons pass in the early evening and the starry sky at nightfall.
A gate from the garden leads to the parking, swimming pool and play area, surrounded by lawns, and fenced around the perimeter.
Enter from the balcony into the kitchen / dining / living room. The tiled floor, original beams and stone features create a bright and comfortable space.
The thick stone walls, shutters and electric fans keep it cool in summer, and the wood burning stove creates a warm atmosphere for comfortable winter stays.
The ground floor bedroom has twin beds and a bathroom with a shower, sink and WC.
The staircase leads from the living room to a second bathroom, also with shower, sink and WC, and to a large bedroom with a double bed.
