\n

Is Villa Vigor a new-build property?<\/h3>

No. Villa Vigor is a carefully restored historic farmhouse. Where possible, the original walls, beams and other characterful features have been preserved, whilst incorporating modern comforts. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What sustainable choices have been made?<\/h3>

During the renovation, we made a conscious decision to opt for solutions such as solar panels, a solar water heater, good insulation, underfloor heating, rainwater harvesting, waste sorting and the reuse of existing materials wherever possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Doesn\u2019t the historic character come at the expense of comfort?<\/h3>

On the contrary. Villa Vigor combines authentic charm with modern comfort. You can enjoy cosy living spaces, comfortable bedrooms and contemporary facilities, whilst the farmhouse\u2019s character remains intact. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Why was the farmhouse restored rather than rebuilt?<\/h3>

The most sustainable choice is often to preserve what is valuable. By giving the existing farmhouse a new lease of life, both the heritage and a large proportion of the original materials are preserved. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Is Villa Vigor energy-efficient?<\/h3>

Yes. Thanks to good insulation, efficient heating, solar panels and a solar water heater, we minimise our energy consumption whilst maintaining a comfortable environment for our guests.
