The king beds are separable on request in the moment of the reservation.

The apartments are equipped with Wi-Fi internet and satellite television.
The kitchens are fully fitted including dishwashers.

he two apartments can be rented individually by two separate groups of people, or else the house can be rented in it’s entirety by one large group of people.

The private salt treated pool (8mt x 3mt x 1.20mt can be heated by solar panels) in the case that the two apartments are taken by two groups is available to both groups as well as the garden.
Guests can relax on the lush green lawns surrounding the pool, from which there is easy access to the immediate surrounding countryside.
