Fleuret Cottage

Dating from 1820, Fleuret Cottage sits at the bottom of the peaceful hamlet of Fleuret. Its original bread oven, stone sink alcove, œil-de-bœuf window, terracotta floors, beams and exposed stone retain the character of this traditional home.

Both bedrooms have air conditioning; baby equipment is available.
