Downstairs there is a TV room that can also sleep two people, bathroom and Turkish bath with outdoor shower. In addition to the main house, there is an old “lamia” country house that can sleep 2 people with a large bathroom. Surrounding the pool there is an outdoor kitchen with BBQ and wood-fired oven, dining terrace, outdoor sofa, and sunbeds. On the roof, there is a large terrace with great views of the sea.
