Unforgettable views (see comments from the Visitors' Book !) from the house and garden and pool terrace.

Private pool of 9 x 5m set in extensive garden, fully lit at night. Great for kids who will love the football 'pitch' with goalposts and net, trampoline and swings. Many lovely mature trees including huge bay tree and fig and almond trees. Please help yourselves!
