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.

The house is within one hectare of land, filled with olive and almond trees. The sea is 7km away, with the amazing Torre Guaceto Natural Reserve being the closest beach.
