The property is built around a central high walled Roman-style courtyard, with a restored gothic fountain. Colour exudes from its many terracotta plant pots and climbing rose and Jasmin bushes. The accommodation is set around this beautiful courtyard, which is the focal point of the property. The upper floor is devoted to living space. The rooms are spacious and airy, with high wood-beamed ceilings, and have been painted in the warm and friendly traditional colours of the region by a local artist. Large guilt mirrors adorn the walls. The large living area has plenty of comfortable seating, with a satellite TV, a VCR and a collection of videos, a stereo, and plenty of books. Hi speed internet connection available for your personal lap top, note book computers.
There is a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with high quality fittings including a gas range with with gas oven and electric grill, a microwave / grill, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, a washing machine, and plenty of china and utensils.
Double glass doors lead out onto the large balcony overlooking the courtyard, which is a delightful spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, or coffee and croissants at breakfast.
All four bedrooms have music facilities and ensuite bathrooms, with top quality fittings. Two of the bedrooms are in the main building, while two others are just across the inner courtyard. Perfect when you want to be together but not on top of each other.
The main building’s twin bedroom has a curved ceiling with exposed wood beams, hand painted furniture, the ensuite bathroom has a shower, a washbasin and a WC. The double room has a domed ceiling. The bed and furniture are hand painted and decorated by a local artist. The bathroom features a large and deep cast-iron hand-painted bathtub, a large walk-in monsoon-type power shower, a hand basin and a WC.
Across the inner courtyard, one bedroom is at the base of the terracotta staircase, behind the gothic fountain. It has a king size bed, hand painted and decorated furniture, and a vaulted ceiling. The ensuite bathroom has a large bath with mixer shower taps, a hand basin and a wc. The largest bedroom, which also has a king-size bed, is at the top of the terracotta staircase. This bedroom has exposed stone walls and a high pointed ceiling lined with wooden beams. Its walls and furniture are painted in delicate blues and yellows, again by the local artist. Its bathroom has a large bath, and a large walk-in monsoon-type power shower, a hand basin, and a wc.
 
The property is equally comfortable during the winter, as there is underfloor heating beneath the terracotta tiles throughout the property.
All of the facilities are exclusively for the guests and are not shared with any other renters. We are on hand if needed. We invite guests on arrival day to share a glass or two of the local wine and sample a bite of the local food, and can supply info on what to see and where to go.
 
The extensive garden is totally enclosed and has plenty of trees, including olive trees, providing shade and privacy, plus an abundance of aromatic rosemary and lavender. The large heated pool (13 x 6.5 metres) is surrounded by a tiled sunbathing area, with sun loungers and cushions and protected from the accommodation area by a lavender-painted fence for safety.
There is an outdoor eating area, with table and chairs, and a large stone and brick barbecue.
