Over Mas Rignas 6p,

'The Rignas house' is nestled in a small valley below the castle. The original part of this old farm, where silkworms were once bred, dates back to the 16th century. There is a seasonal creek next to the house, and the hills around it are covered with fragrant herbs. Each season has its own beauty here: in spring the almond trees blossom, followed by yellow Scotch broom and purple Judas trees in summer, and red boxwood in fall. The sweet scent of rosemary fills the air all year. Rignas is a great place all year long. The summers are warm, but often cooled by a light breeze. Spring and fall are pleasant and sunny, and winters are mostly mild. If it ever gets cold - the house is centrally heated. On chilly fall evenings, the fireplace provides warmth and ambiance. In winter, skiing in the Vercors is a short drive away. The house Rignas The house sleeps six. The roomy master bedroom opens onto the deck and has an en-suite bathroom. A loft provides further sleeping accommodation, and an additional apartment-style bedroom on the first floor has its own bathroom and is directly accessible from the yard.

This connects to a kitchen with a full range of high-end appliances, including a sealed cook top, combi oven/microwave, and a fridge with large freezer compartment. The dining nook leads into the living room, where a fireplace provides a cosy atmosphere.
