Within its gated grounds you’ll find ample parking and beautifully tended areas of lawn and terraces, adorned by lush palm trees and clipped hedging.
There are three separate outdoor seating areas fringed with elegant ironwork balustrades and generously furnished with stylish sofas, loungers and dining suites.

There’s a large swimming pool, perfect for cooling you down after a spell in the warm Riviera sunshine, with a luxury hammock, daybeds and sun
loungers providing plenty of choice for your afternoon siesta. There’s also a hot tub and table tennis available for your use.
