A small ecological footprint
The owner is passionate about the environment:
- Water is collected and filtered; drinking water from the tap
- Solar panels provide warm water
- Wood (for the wood-burning stove) comes from the property’s own land
- To the rear of the orchard is a run housing chickens, ducks and turkeys; for fresh eggs every morning
- The orchard is stocked with local trees, including almond, plum and hazelnut, in order to maintain regional biodiversity. There are also pick-your-own seasonal fruits, including apricots, grapes, plums, lemons, pomegranates and quinces.
