Country House with Private Pool
Spectacular Location on Wine Estate
Sleeps 10 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
The house, swimming pool and gardens have been built and decorated with great love for detail. The building is whitewashed in soft ochre that makes it fit in with the local area and gives it an attractive traditional feel. Stone steps from the fenced in lawn behind the building lead you down to the large swimming pool (5m x 10m). Swimmers have a breathtaking view and a sensation of swimming right out into the valley, as the pool overflows on the valley side. The large, open fireplace in the sitting room is made from one large piece of pink marble. Originally planned to be an artist's studio, the sitting room has a fantastic panoramic view of the valley. From the bedrooms, French windows lead on to the Arab-style tiled terrace where cricket sound can be enjoyed at night with the odd owl's shriek. The two upstairs bedrooms both have French windows opening onto the same terrace. The kitchen is decorated in mouth-watering colours and equipped with all necessary equipment.
