The surrounding landscaped gardens are full of flowers and trees (olive, silk, palm and pine trees) and a little fountain in the lower garden adds to the atmosphere of quietness and well-being – providing late afternoon shade, whilst the upper gardens and the swimming pool will stay sunlit till late in the evening.
Several terraces are perfect for al-fresco dining during the season next to the flood-lit pool and close to the paved built in barbecue area.
A small spot has been reserved for playing table tennis.
Above the upper garden that surrounds the pool -you will find a small field, ideal for playing football or volleyball, and lined fruit trees offer cherries, pears, apples, plums, chestnuts and figs when in season.
There is plenty of space for everyone to find his own little corner where to simply sit to read a book or enjoy the views and see the swallows hover over the swimming pool at dusk.
