The main entrance of this one level property welcomes you directly into the main living space with comfy seating, a wall mounted TV and an elegant wooden dining table with matching cabinets, extending into a fully equipped kitchen with major appliances and a food preparation area. Bedrooms lie to each side (left and right) of the main living area, 1 king size and 1 twin, both fashioned in light oak wood and with private ensuite bathrooms. The outside living space is an absolute treat. A terrace extends the entire length of the cottage and is embellished with dining table and chairs and traditional BBQ overlooking the pool, perfect for al fresco dining, with views across the hilltops and out towards the ocean, crystal clear and blue on a sunny day. The sun beams down on the sparkling pool all day, inviting you to take a dip, followed by a spot of relaxation for the sun worshippers on the surrounding sunbeds. The views are truly amazing; the villa is perched on an enviable hilltop position, embraced by an abundance of trees, wildflowers, and nature at its best. The ambience and fragrances in the air are simply magical and here, you can really unwind. Each morning you will hear nothing more than birdsong! This is the perfect rural retreat for guests seeking peace and tranquility. A traditional fabulous log burner makes this a perfect winter let.



This is a private accommodation and guests will be able to access all advertised areas and use all advertised facilities. The villa is a one-level property with 2 small steps between the house and the pool. There is ample space for cars to park on the stone driveway.
