Carpe Diem Guesthouse, a guesthouse near the Camino de Santiago
The gite-carpediem .france is an old stone barn, very close to my house; as we come and go, we will meet each other in discretion and sympathy. The property is located in the charming village of Saint-Projet, nestled in a huge enclosed garden with an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. A small road borders the property but traffic is modest.
Le Carpe Diem is composed as follows: On the ground floor, a living room comprising the living room, the open kitchen area and a toilet, all for an area of 35m2. The floor is tiled and covered with a carpet in the living room. This room has a large double-glazed window and a window.
