Newly renovated and decorated with beautiful Modern British art the house and its large grounds and terraces are suffused with sparkling light whilst offering complete privacy and seclusion.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
