The Lavender Bubble
A bubble at the edge of the lavender rows, open to the south, with its own shower room and a hot outdoor shower.
To the south, just above the lavender rows. In summer the heart of the Milky Way rises towards Sagittarius and Scorpius.
The Lavender Bubble almost touches the lavender rows. From mid-June to late July, depending on the year, you fall asleep in their scent; the rest of the year you keep the same open view to the south.
That is where the densest part of the Milky Way passes in summer: on a moonless night you can follow it with the naked eye from your pillow down to the horizon.
A private shower room adjoins the bubble, and a hot outdoor shower on a sheltered wooden deck lets you rinse off under the stars.
