With a holiday feel, this family house with exposed stones, has many advantages, the choice of authentic materials and respect for the original building gives this Mas a particular authenticity... Former post office, the renovation of this atypical place offers large rooms exposed at different levels, giving the place a special intimacy. Here one can imagine an art of living where simple pleasure, combined with comfort, dominates.
