Inside the villa, a modern and well-equipped kitchen awaits, where you can prepare dinners using fresh local produce. Once the meal is savored, bring the day to a perfect close with an outdoor cinema experience, immersing yourself in a captivating movie or reveling in the brilliance of the starry night sky.

When exhaustion beckons, retreat to the three beautifully appointed bedrooms within the main farmhouse. These rooms are designed to provide respite, featuring ceiling fans and air-conditioning for a cool summer ambiance, as well as underfloor heating for a cozy winter haven.

Wake up to the invigorating embrace of warm sunlight filtering into the room, while thick curtains ensure uninterrupted rest for those desiring a late start. Additionally, two further bedrooms can be found in the enchanting wooden treehouses, a short walk from the main farmhouse, offering splendid views over the ravine.
