The outdoor area is well-kept, with plants, flowers and lawn, complete with sunbeds and many relaxing areas for admiring the surrounding countryside. The pool has a Roman staircase leading into the water and is 6 metres by 12 with a depth of 0.9-1.5 metres. The pool is in a marvellous position and can be reached via a few steps. All around is the paved bathing area with sunbeds, beach umbrellas, shower and games for children.

You can also have outdoor lunches and barbecues in the large stonework portico with long wooden table, benches and chairs, a portable barbecue and ping pong table, right next to the “summer” kitchen/washing area. Parking for 4 cars is just outside the property.
