Mealtimes can be enjoyed at the dining table for eight or outside on the patio when the summer sun is out. There is a bathroom on the upper floor where guests will find a shower, a toilet, and a hand basin.

The holiday rental is perfect for those who yearn for adventure and want to experience something different than the typical getaways.
