The house is very well equipped and decorated to a very high standard.
It is very comfortable and practical, with all amenities and all necessary kitchen and laundry equipment
Furniture is stylish and there is a great deal of space in the main Kitchen/Dining Room/ Sitting Room area and the outside terrace is pleasantly spacious too
Bedrooms and bathrooms are very good.
The garden area is limited and the drawback is that the pool size is very small - hardly more than a plunge pool - and really only suited to children.
