The space
- At the front of the property is a west-facing, private, sheltered and sunny balcony to enjoy the views with seating and coffee tables.
- Beside this is a patio area with a dining table and place to hang the hammock.
- The front door leads from the patio into the entrance hall which has plenty of space for shoes, coats and bags.
- The main living room has an open fireplace, large banquette dining table and a corner sofa which converts into a comfortable double sofa bed.
- There is a large smart, flatscreen TV, soundbar and sub woofer. The speakers can be connected to your phone with bluetooth. Netflix is included and you can log into your own account to watch other streaming services. There is a large selection of board games.
- Bedroom One has stunning views across the valley, a super king sized bed (180cm wide), bedside tables, a chest of drawers and space to hang clothes.
- Bedroom Two has a standard double bed (135cm wide) with a. single bunk above, making it ideal either for a couple, two friends or 2-3 children.
- Both bathrooms are recently fitted with shower, sink, toilet, heated towel rail and extractor fan in each.
The apartment is heated by a storage heater in the winter. In the summer it stays relatively cool, even in the hottest weather, as it faces west, is nestled into the mountainside and is at altitude, so it is cool at night.

Devon, England . Joined in August 2021
I live in Devon, England but lived for a few years in Switzerland, where I still go for the winters. I love snowboarding and like to go split boarding when I can. I have been vegan since signing up for Veganuary in January 2018. I love cooking and have a diploma in vegan nutrition. My partner and I are passionate about environmental issues. We are currently working on complete renovation of a house which we are doing in as environmentally friendly way as possible. We are aiming towards passive house standard and are using environmentally friendly building materials, such as foam glass for the sub floor and wood fibre insulation for the walls and roof.
