Indoor pool

A heated swimming pool is a rare feature for a workshop space

In an annex building, a stone's throw from the cottage and guest house, the swimming pool offers a peaceful and relaxing space. The water temperature is 28°C year-round, and the pool is open to guests of the estate every day from 9 am to 8 pm.

For your workshops, it can be heated up to 35°C: rebirth, Atma Janzu, watsu, aquagym or baby swimming – a rare feature in the region. Between sessions in the gym, you can gently extend your work there.

28°C all year round
35° for the workshops
