Notes
The property is an old stone house, situated on a slope, with a reasonable number of steps for all rooms, which makes access with a wheelchair very difficult/impossible, and hard work for people who are not so steady on their feet.<br />On the other hand we have provided good railings everywhere, and are always happy to help as much as we can, so do ask if in doubt of whether our place is sutiable.
