Stairs to the first floor lead to three individually styled and furnished bedrooms, each with access to a balcony with a breathtaking view. The rooms are decorated with carefully chosen and renovated antique pieces that harmoniously combine with modern and elegant furniture. The first room you meet is the master bedroom. The room has one king-size bed and an area with a sofa where you can sit and relax. Two balcony doors allow the light and the view to feel the room and give access to the large balcony. All balconies are framed with safety glass so as not to obscure the view. Continuing, we find a spacious, modern shower room with double washbasins and all the amenities needed. The one twin bedroom with the en-suite bathroom is at the end of the hallway whilst on the other side of the hallway we find the other twin bedroom with the en suite shower room. All the rooms have access to balconies. The decoration with its electric artwork and fresh colors provides a feeling of pleasure and serenity while the facilities and the ample spaces provide all the comfort you need.

On the lower level of the villa is a twin bedroom with an en suite shower room. The bedroom features a seating area and follows the design line of the other rooms. Patios from the bedroom provide access to the garden at the front of the house.

All the rooms are equipped with elegant Coco-Mat mattresses, linen, and bathrobes. The beds in the twin bedrooms can be made into a double bed with a mattress topper on request.
