The cosy living area, with 2 brand new full size double sofa beds, is a relaxing area which is cool in the summer, from which you can step out into the tranquil private inner courtyard with its unique church dome and take your breakfast in the morning sunshine, read and listen to music and enjoy a barbeque/grill and drinks amidst the lanterns in the evening.

Two separate interior staircases lead you up to each of the first floor bedrooms which means they are both very private. The large master bedroom has a modern Kingsize bed with cotton linen and air conditioning and bright natural light and whitewashed walls.
The other staircase leads you to the second bedroom equal in character with its traditional raised platform bed, a brand new full size single, cotton linen, air conditioning and high vaulted wooden beamed ceilings and windows. also a cosy area with its own bistro table and chairs.
A cot is available on request which can be placed in any of the rooms.
