We are very lucky to have, in this village of only 400 people, three high-quality B&Bs. All are run by English couples, who are friends of ours, and who have agreed to offer our clients special weekly rates. All are within walking distance of our house, though you may find it easier to drive or ride a bike here. All have swimming pools and large gardens, and are run by friendly, charming people. All listed rates are for double rooms with ensuite bathrooms, and all include breakfast.
