The grounds (185 m²)
The property benefits from a good-sized enclosed garden with mature shrubs, flowers and trees connected to the house through a spacious north-facing patio. The patio, covered with original elegant roof constructed of glass and metal, offers privacy, comfort and coolness during the summer, and plenty of space for dining and entertainment with family and friends in the cool shadows of the surrounding tall walls. It is a unique private and very quiet space in the middle of the village, secluded from views from the neighboring houses and gardens.
