Swimming pool
How you can enjoy life more than by swimming on a hill? From the swimming pool, you have a marvellous view. Lounge chairs, (usually) glorious weather, a good book and a glass of cold white wine will complete your holiday bliss. The swimming pool measures 6 x 12 meters and the depth varies from 1.10 to 1.80 meters. The water is cleaned by a salt-based system.
Pétanque
Next to the swimming pool you find a pétanque playing area where you can practice your pétanque skills.

September. Helping with the wine harvest is a new experience for many of our guests - big and small. They don't usually do this in everyday life. They help prune in May and pick in August. The grapes have now been pressed and clarified and now, with the alcohol content right, the wine is put into five- and 10-litre bottles. A water seal goes on the bottles to ensure the malic acid disappears. In a month or so, the wine can be bottled. Estimates this year are around 80 bottles of white (30 chardonnay and 50 sauvignon) and 180 bottles of red. Looks promising again!
