Due to the unique location of the house, there is no direct car access to the property. From the nearest road, it’s just a short 2-minute walk to the house. There is a paid parking area nearby, as well as a free parking spot located a little further uphill. We recommend bringing lighter luggage if possible, as you’ll need to walk the final few minutes to reach the house.
