The paved surround is furnished with loungers and there is also a covered gazebo to retreat under during the heat of the day. Relaxing by the pool you have far reaching views of the valley below and the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.

There is a comfortable sofa arranged in front of the fireplace and a small table and chairs to one side. Floor to ceiling windows surround the room on three sides making this a very light airy room, these can be opened to allow the breeze to circulate. At the far end is a small scullery with stone sink, shelving and a fridge. To the right of the fireplace are some stone steps which lead up to the first floor.

The first floor is reached via a set of stone steps from the lounge and also via an open staircase from the dining room. Both arrive at either side of the landing which has been turned into a study area with antique writing desk, chair, sofa and bookshelves along two of the walls.

An open staircase, not suitable for toddlers, leads to the first floor and to the right through an archway is an ‘L’ shaped corridor.
