Le Petit Castel
In a quiet pedestrian street in the old part of town you will find this delightful hidden gem – a traditional terraced house renovated to a high standard to give a stylish and modern finish with a light and airy ambiance; a most appealing combination of old and new. The house is well equipped and the furnishings and finish are smart. There is a satellite TV in the 2nd floor living room, although the good sized roof terrace adjacent and bars/restaurants just a short walk away are more likely to claim your attention. The ground floor kitchen/dining room is a good size, although it is 2 flights of spiral stairs from the living room/roof terrace – but in practice this is part of the charm of the house – ideal for 4.
Castel Grand Rue
This is a substantial terraced town house of great character with some unique features. There is a good feeling of space over 3 floors with high ceilings, large bedrooms, a wide staircase - plenty of room for larger parties to “spread out”. Add this to the intriguing Moroccan theme, elegant furnishings and good attention to detail on both decoration and equipment, and you have a most agreeable holiday home. In summer you also have the benefit of naturally cool ground floor rooms, whilst on the second floor is the conservatory/satellite TV room and sunny west-facing roof terrace with optional awning. Ideal for 6, you will find this house intriguing and very comfortable with the convenience of shops/bars/restaurants just around the corner.
