From stone to glass, a unique home on the river

In the historic center of a charming medieval village, an ancient mill renovated with high-quality materials is now a residence of rare charm, where 13th-century stone converses with the transparency of glass and the flow of the river. The entrance welcomes us into the main hall: here the living rock emerges from the walls, an elegant parquet floor warms the rooms, and the entire ceiling preserves the original vaults in ancient stone. The atmosphere is made intimate and welcoming by a modern pellet stove and a section of glass flooring. This design transparency offers a view of a lower space that immediately reveals the building’s historic character. Next comes the kitchen, a fully equipped, bright area thanks to a large panoramic window and a French door leading to a delightful small balcony overlooking the river, with the sound of running water as a natural, restorative soundtrack. Climbing the wooden staircase, you reach the upper floor, where the architecture becomes airy and light. A spectacular mezzanine entirely in glass and metal draws the eye to the living area below and leads to a functional space with a bathroom. The sleeping area consists of two double bedrooms and a second bathroom with refined design. A generously sized hallway devoted to a reading room completes this part of the home. The true heart of the residence is revealed by descending a striking spiral staircase in antiqued metal with fan-shaped steps. You then find yourself in what was once the mill’s true soul: an all-stone room expertly restored to host a relaxation area furnished with a small table and chairs. From this evocative room, a door finally leads to a private little terrace that opens directly onto the river level, offering a unique perspective on the water for those seeking a private oasis outside of time.
