THE HOUSE AND TERRACE

Garden House has an attractive open plan living room and diner/ kitchen with french windows overlooking the village and terracotta patio. There is comfortable seating both in and out providing lounging space and a dining table and chairs.The room boasts both a woodburning fireplace and under floor heating.

 The central staircase leads to the two bedrooms on the first floor both ensuite. These bedrooms have beautiful views over the village  and are furnished with a mixture of antique furniture and original pieces.  The master bedroom has an oldfashioned bathtub and the second bedroom its own walk in marble shower. Both rooms are air conditioned.  All the bedding is bespoke by Sally Lovalvo and made of 100% Turkish cotton.

There is a lovely courtyard garden to the front of the house, with a large table and solid wood chairs for outdoor dining. There is also another garden under construction offering orange trees and shady areas under a wistful wisteria and featuring a terracotta tank for cooling off during summer months.

A complimentary breakfast of fresh local produce is served daily at the Terrace Cafe. If you do not wish to cook during your stay, there are a number of tasty restaurants within a 2 minute walk, or you can join us on the Terrace for drinks, a 3 course evening meal or a lunchtime snack.

RESTORING GARDEN HOUSE

This two storey Sirince house was in a poor state when we undertook its restoration many of the villagers could remember when this family home had been inhabited by a tailor.

The existing building had to be raised to the ground and the whole infrastructure of the house reestablished before the painstaking reconstruction work began on the house. Reconstruction work lasted 2 years.The outside of the house is white with smooth plaster and wooden windows and shutters, as all the houses in the village were originally.

We decided to leave the beautiful stone work inside exposed to remind the resident of its half metre thick stone walls, cool in summer and warm in winter.
