Welcome to the brilliant prime villa.

Overview of the house

The space

The main part of the villa is the traditional school house which has been loving restored to the highest level. The traditional elements of the house have merged together with a more modern contemporary part providing a wonderful fusion of ‘new and old’ The living space is wonderfully comprised of the 3 areas with high ceilings, large bright windows. There is a cute fun hallway designed like a traditional school classroom complete with black board and traditional school desks. Many of our guests enjoy the nostalgia associated with the design and their children are often bemused to see how class room design used to be back in the 50’s and 60’s! The rest of the living space, as you can see from the picture gallery, includes a good sized dining area, ideal for indoor gatherings to enjoy great food and wine and the spacious open relaxed lounge area. Note both these areas are served by a double sided central fireplace, a nice feature at any time of the year but especially pleasant in the winter season. The kitchen is spacious, well equipped and practical. Many of our guests comment on how well equipped it is and how much they enjoyed cooking during their stay. Sleeping There are 4 very comfortable good sized bedrooms all en-suite, which accommodate 8 people. Bedroom 1 This is a spacious bright double bedroom with direct access to the garden via large glass sliding doors. The bedroom has an en-suite bathroom Bedroom 2 Another wonderful bright and spacious double bedroom with direct access to the gardens via large sliding glass doors. This bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom Bedroom 3 This is the master bedroom – which is the largest bedroom and commands stunning views of the valley below.
