Home description

At Les Tamaris, the traditional barn, built in the 19th century in the local honey-coloured limestone, has been carefully renovated and converted to provide two quality holiday cottages with all the comforts of home. They feature exposed stone and beams, traditional tiled floors and modern kitchens and bathrooms. Each has its own fenced terrace area and they share the heated fenced pool.
