It is a an early 20th century restored farmhouse that has preserved the original features, combining them with modern comforts. Externally clad in exposed stone, it has a bright, spacious living room and a fully-equipped kitchen with central island; all the rooms have air-conditioning and every bedroom has a panoramic view and ensuite bathroom.

Outside the living room French windows on the ground floor are large paved terraces with umbrellas providing shade to small tables, chairs, sofas and a long table for outdoor dining, the latter directly in front of the kitchen French window, facing the pool. The entrance gate to the property leads directly to the parking area, just a few steps from the main entrance.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
