Description of our house
Our home is 200 sqm furnished simply but comfortably on two levels.Two self contained apartments of 100 sqm(one we sometimes rent out,so only three weeks available for exchange during the summer)each,with 3 bedrooms on each level,open plan living/dining kitchen area and wonderful verandahs overlooking the mountain opposite and the Med(16kms) in the distance.On the ground floor there is our young daughter's room with a cot,our son's bedroom,the parental suite(with sea views),open plan living/kitchen area leading on to the closed in verandah where our dining room is situated(we never get tired of the views when we eat there).On the first floor you will find approximately the same set up but this time with 3 double bedrooms,the only difference being the verandah here is a little closer to the stars so a great place to stargaze from.Our home was built in 1998 and has most modern amenities you might require,Tv by satellite access,laptop with internet access by dial up(too far from phone exchange),games for young children.The garden is large(2400sqm)with some steep areas and has a small wood next to it.We have an above the ground pool of 7x3 mtrs again with lovely views of the mountain and of the sea in the distance.The house is facing Southeast and we get wonderful sunrises over the sea between the months of May to September as well as eagles flying overhead,swifts ballet in front of our dining room windows and the cicadas concert in summer.
