House

Thick stone, a quiet courtyard

A house that has stayed in the same place for centuries, with walls that keep the cold out and soft light inside.

Facade

Walls that hold time

The stone is laid in courses, with wooden shutters on the windows and an iron balcony with flowers. In the evening, small lights come on along the paths and stairs.

The house has two levels, an outside stone staircase and a vaulted entrance with a solid wooden door.

The walls

Thick stone keeps things cool in summer and warm in winter. The windows are small, with wooden frames.

The courtyard

The stone paving, the wooden sofas and the fire in the corner make the courtyard the house’s evening place.

The arches

Evening in the courtyard

A table that takes its time

Here people eat a lot and talk slowly, late into the night.
