Domaine Des Moulins / The Tower and its Jacuzzi

Its History:

The property is made up of two water mills whose first historical traces date back to 1728. The first mill, located in a tower, was once used to grind grain (wheat and rye). The second mill was used as a sawmill. Its wheel is still visible.

The Accommodation:

The Mill Tower has a private terrace, equipped with a dining table, garden furniture, a sheltered Jacuzzi, a charcoal barbecue which you can use if you wish (charcoal not provided) and a bread oven that is not in use.

The spa is set to 38°, so it will be hot when you arrive and for the duration of your stay (we set the parameters before you arrive so you don't have to do anything). The spa's waterfall comes on when the spa is filtering, so there's nothing for you to do there either. Simply enjoy the massage jets and the choice of lights to relax you to the max.

Once inside the tower, you will arrive in the fully equipped kitchen with its dining area for 4 people. It is also at this level that you will be able to go to the shower room, composed of a toilet, a basin and an Italian shower.

On the first floor the living room, equipped with a sofa bed for 2 people, a chair and a stool, as well as the television. You will also have access to an office if you need to work.

On the top floor, under a beautiful wooden framework, the bedroom equipped with a 160*200 bed, a clothes rack, drawers under the bed for storing your clothes.

You will also be able to access the walkway if you wish. Rest assured, the door is locked and will never be opened during your stay.

The beds will be made up on arrival. We can lend you a baby bed if needed.

A Nespresso coffee machine, bath towels and bath mats are provided as well as dishwasher tablets, dish towels, sponges, washing up liquid, shower gel, toilet paper.
