Entering the gate of the completely fenced, 170 hectares of picturesque land, which looks like a gigantic English landscape, one follows an unpaved road that passes the two Guest House buildings and heads to the the centre of the property where the Manor House is located.

Surrounded by a 7.5 ha garden inside a stone wall over 3 mts high with a representative vaulted gate, is the Manor House with 250 m2. Is used as the owner’s residence and boosts a perfectly preserved beautiful baroque décor. An imponente Hall with high ceiling gives access to the Lounge on the right and a Living room on the left, both decorated with wood burning traditional tile stoves. It has 5 bedrooms, a Library and a Chapel. In the garden there are two richly decorated baroque swimming pools, a fountain, a Roman Cistern, a gardener’s house, stables, sheepfolds and other buildings.

The Guest House is located on the top of a hill and have in total 14 additional bedrooms. Each of the houses are independent and fully equiped. Most of the rooms are in-suite and all have recently undergone a general renovation. The third pool is located near the Guest House buildings and offers a spectacular view of several kilometers around.

The picture is complemented by 4 stocked ponds, a swimming lake with crystal clear water, as well as a river and several seasonal streams, creating beautifully murmuring cascades in winter and spring.
