This beautiful property sits on the top of a hill on one hectare of land with wide sweeping south facing views of the local countryside and the sea. It is approached up a private 200m track which affords it total seclusion. The garden is mainly gravel with flower beds of prolific oleander, hibiscus, lavender, almond and carob trees. Shade is provided on the south and east facing terraces with deep verandas - perfect for al fresco dining and there is a totally private roof terrace for sun worshippers. The pool is 10m and salt water and has a covered barbeque area/pool house and outside shower. The property itself is full of character and would be best described as rustic/chic but with every modern amenity. Santa Caterina tiles on the floors, cane and pole ceilings but white double glazed French doors to almost every room. Two bedrooms are in the main body of the house and the third one has a separate entrance, en-suite bathroom, mini galley kitchen and private terrace.
