The mill has a bed and a bathroom, a small fridge and a stove.
it's very funny like the house of the 7 dwarfs.
I will be able to secure basic food and whenever possible we will have a meal together.
In any case, the mill is about 1,200 meters from the center where you can do whatever shopping you think is convenient.
As its infrastructures are fragile you have to be very careful. Don't put paper in the toilet and use everything very
gently.What else ...
