Home truths
The multi-level villa features a dedicated yoga space, a jacuzzi and a sauna, and a bathroom with a shower on the ground floor.
The three bedrooms are located on three different levels and the lower ground floor acts as a self-contained apartment with its own fully equipped kitchen.
This property is located on a hill with steps to reach the entrance so may not be suited to guests with limited mobility.

Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
