The House
The Villa sleeps six persons in three double bedrooms and two persons in one twin room. Two of the doubles bedrooms have ensuite double shower rooms while the other double shares a bath/shower room with the twin room. All bathrooms have double basins.
There is a large open plan living, dining and kitchen area that has been equipped and furnished to the highest standards. State of the art entertainment systems including plasma televisions, wireless internet and Sky TV, are integrated into the house.
