The outdoor areas are a standout feature of this property. The central terrace, shaded in parts by a bamboo pergola, is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing. The surrounding gardens are lush and beautifully cared for, featuring orange, lemon, and almond trees, mature shrubs, and flowering plants.
At the upper terrace a charming stone-built outdoor bathtub, set against a warm-toned wall, offers a unique place to unwind.
At the entrance, a parking space with a pergola provides covered parking. Behind the house, a separate 98 sq.m. garden—accessible also from another road—offers space for a vegetable garden and additional fruit trees, completing the property’s peaceful, nature-rich feel.
