We offer 3 queen-sized bedrooms decorated in old world charm with brass beds and furniture restored by the owners. One room also includes a king size single bed.

All rooms have ensuites. They have all been built with recycled materials and have been designed entirely by your hosts. As you can see in the ensuite at right, the handbasin is made out of an old Singer sewing machine!
