Villa

With cool tiled floors and high raftered ceilings, a spacious sitting /dining room has doors to this al fresco living space, and to a delightful dining pergola. Two ground floor bedrooms also open on to the veranda, while the master double enjoys an extra level of privacy on the first floor, with its own shaded balcony.
