fablo fernando luxury room |
|
|
|
The room has a double aspect, with large windows
facing south and west, catching the morning and evening sun.
It also has a beautiful walnut veneered wardrobe, with curved
sides and a large central mirror. The generous bathroom has
a large shower as well as an
antique roll-top bath - found abandoned in the garden before
being lovingly restored.

|
The Fablo room was another where we managed
to save the original tommette provencal tile floor, and combined
with the antique furniture and the huge Rococo style mahogany
bed, we're sure Fablo would have felt more than comfortable
here.

History
|
|
We named this large room after a former Spanish
owner of Le Foulon. Fablo presided over the domain in the
thirties, and judging by an inscription in one of the patio
stones at the front of the building he was responsible for
the fantastic courtyard setting that remains solid to this
day. |
|
It reads "1939. RECUERDO DE LOS ESPANOLES" and
was presumably inscribed by a proud workman, no doubt one
of the many fleeing Franco's Spain. |
