The house was completely renovated while preserving the original materials and authenticity. The wooden ceilings, wooden beams, and thick stone walls were all retained. Where new parquet and doors were installed, chestnut wood from the surrounding forests was used.
The house was stylishly furnished with an eye for detail and finishing. The walls were finished with Italian plasterwork throughout, and the bathrooms were adorned with zellige tiles.
The original fireplaces were preserved, and a stove was added in the downstairs lounge for additional warmth.
Coziness is a keyword for us.
