「The property is wonderful. Spacious and characterful - looks better in person than in the photos - much bigger than I was expecting! The pool is unbelievable. The grounds include fruit trees - plums, pears, apples and figs, which we were allowed...」
The 19th century renovated farmhouse 'Laudinie' is beautiful situated on a hill at the end of a dirt road off a quiet country lane. The house is free-standing, amidst 11 hectares of private land. Those seeking peace will find it here. 'Laudinie' is fully protected from prying eyes - perfect for a private, rejuvenating vacation!
