Approach

The main living space is an airy spacious room with wooden beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and terracotta tiled floors. There is comfortable seating for 4 people gathered around the room’s wood burning stove, which is set in a tapered white chimney breast.

The kitchen is well equipped with a hob, oven, fridge/freezer, and washing machine.

From the living area, three steps lead you through a pretty stone archway to the bedrooms. The inviting double bedroom has sloping wooden ceilings, stone walls and wooden French windows which lead out into the garden. The twin room has a lovely traditional feel with dark wood beds, a dresser, wardrobe and hat stand beneath sloping wooden ceilings. There is a modern, marble tiled bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and twin washbasins and a further separate shower room.

Outside

Outside, the attractive pool terrace is kept private by a smooth white wall that curves around it. The tiled Roman-ended pool has steps leading into the water. Next to the pool is a tiled shower. Leafy green trees shield the wall, giving the pool a naturally secluded feel. To the side of the villa is a spacious, shaded terrace. Also here is the villa’s built-in barbecue and garden furniture, perfect for taking advantage of those warm summer evenings and dining outdoors. The gardens are located through an arched gateway.

The sandy beach here is a small bay shielded by cliffs which is popular in high season, and offers a selection of water sports.
