This beautiful cottage is the perfect blend of old and new. Traditional features like exposed wooden beams sit alongside clean, modern decor – the result is a bright and welcoming holiday home, ideal for families and friends looking to enjoy good weather, good company, and good times. As you arrive at this lovely home, you’ll first be struck by the wonderful views. Your eye is immediately drawn to the mountains in the distance and the far-reaching vista. The outside space is marvellous, with hammocks drifting lazily in the breeze, and quiet corners for moments of meditation. The swimming pool sparkles invitingly in the sunlight, tempting you in for a refreshing dip. We love the dining table on the terrace, and the barbecue – you’re in for some great alfresco feasts here. Watch spectacular sunsets before settling in for evenings spent on the terrace, dining beneath the stars. Inside, there’s just as much charm. Bold splashes of colour liven up the neutral colour palette, and high ceilings mean that it’s bright and cheerful. When you want to relax out of the sunshine, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spend time together inside. This is the kind of holiday home you... want to return to time and again.
