Behind the house, a sheltered, south-facing terrace off the living/dining room is the perfect place for breakfast or a romantic dinner. From the terrace, a few steps lead up to the 4x8 metre pool, surrounded by a deck with loungers and bordered by a small garden with herbs, lavender, and a variety of flowers and shrubs.
