The property’s eleven tourist apartments and tiered garden sit in the centre of a historic town that attracts visitors all year round.
The building also comprises an owner's apartment as well as two large ground floor spaces - one is currently used as a garage, the other has been used as a pottery with a gallery for art and photographic displays.

Surrounding mountains and a nature reserve make the location a popular destination for walkers, bird watchers and cyclists while a nearby thermal spa also brings in visitors. There are good facilities including a primary school, medical services, a cinema and a municipal swimming pool.
