Depending on the time of day, two large, bright and airy lounges looking onto the gardens provide the ideal setting for either cooling off or for gathering around the fireplace.

Part of the living areas located on the garden level, the spacious, fully-equipped, contemporary kitchen boasts a huge dining room table.

Six bedrooms with bathroom, including one four-bedded children’s dormitory, are located on the first floor.

Sheltered from prying eyes, the swimming pool (designed to resemble an antique pond) all but invites you to wile away the hours listening to the sweet song of the cicadas.
