Home truths
Two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you at this home, and the garden is fully fenced to keep them safe.
Set in an elevated position in a residential area and with a steep footpath outside the home, we recommend hiring a car to make the most out of your stay. There’s private parking for three cars located 50 metres from the villa.
Although the swimming pool is not fully photographed, it is private and available seasonally between April and the end of October. The home also offers access to a lakefront swimming platform (may be shared), separated from the house by a road.
The villa is set over three floors, with living, sleeping and kitchen facilities on each floor. There’s no internal lift, so it might not suit guests with restricted mobility.
One of the bedrooms has bunk beds, which are only suitable for children. However, there's ample space to sleep 14 adults in the other seven bedrooms.
