Use And Potential Uses
The property is, for the most part, already renovated, and the remaining buildings need only restoration and finishing work. Once the work is completed, the various buildings would contribute significantly to the property's accommodation potential. In fact, only three of the buildings (villa, small house and cottage) are currently rented.
Moreover, given the beautiful location and the elegance of the indoor and outdoor spaces, the estate is a dream setting for private events and ceremonies that could take advantage of both the elegant indoor halls and the refined gardens outside.
