FLOORPLAN
From the courtyard to the north, we enter the property through large wooden doors into the impressive lounge and dining room (13.40 x 6.40m) where natural light pours in on all sides. For the chilly winter evenings there is a large log burner providing warmth and ambience. From the lounge area a few steps lead down to a hallway where there is a WC and some storage cupboards and continues on to first double bedroom with ensuite bathroom (4.50 x 3.70m) which is centrally positioned between the inner courtyard and east terrace.

An oil-fired boiler acts as a backup if required.
At the end of the hallway the second stairway accesses the upper floor and leads onto the master bedroom suite. From here one has direct access to the upper terrace that commands wonderful southerly views of the surrounding vineyards, olive and almond groves and beautiful, rolling countryside.
