It has a colour television and DVD player.
The living room opens directly on to its own private terrace with barbeque, table & chairs and superb views of the gardens, swimming pool and mountains.
The terrace is a sizzling sun-trap whilst the thick stone walls and shutters ensure it remains pleasantly cool and airy indoors.
