Save the Planet in Comfort !
Each room has been cleverly designed to be really warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to thick earth walls, cross ventilation via a solar chimney, ceiling and floor level insulation, south-facing double glass doors and windows with insulating wooden shutters and wide eaves to provide shade when the sun is high in the sky. The result is that even in mid-winter room temperatures are about 22 degrees centigrade and humidity levels are around a healthy 35%.
Relaxing Enjoy relaxing on a settee with a coffee table opposite the long glass double doors or on your south-facing terrace, both overlooking your 6 metre deep garden.
Storage Using the bench for suitcases, unload your belongings into a spacious wardrobe with hanging area and shelving which also has a safe for small valuables and extra bedding.
Bathrooms are all en-suite with a separate toilet, lever-operated mixer taps, water-saving but powerful shower heads, hot water supplied from a neatly hidden solar panel*, an inset washbasin set into marble worktop with shelving beneath and ventilation via a solar chimney.
* We have a gas back up system for our hammam which ensures you always have access to hot water if the sun does not heat the solar water enough. There is a 150 litre panel for each pair of rooms which provides peak hot water before sunset.
