INTERIOR
Entering into an open plan, kitchen/dining and living room, the most noticeable quality is the attention to detail and a quaint feel that is full of charm and character. The open wood beamed ceilings, spots of old stone walls preserved in the rendering, its thick walls and traditional built-in bread oven in the corner make you realise that these were the original features of the old cottage.

A flight of stairs from the living room lead to the wooden sleeping gallery with two twin beds and door to a small balcony which enjoys the same fabulous views and overlooks the swimming pool. The sleeping gallery is situated under the pitch of the wooden beams and looks down onto the living room.

A tiny w/c with hand basin is located under the stairway. The master bedroom, reached either from its private outside door, or from the living room is a charming room with wood beams set into its rendered ceiling to add a touch of old world charm. The windows at the front of the room offer the same stunning views out to sea with the pool in the foreground. This room also has an en-suite w/c shower room. A small covered terrace is located just out the door and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the unspoilt beauty surrounding this wonderful cottage.
