The swimming pool is nothing short of spectacular, bordering on a work of art. On one side you have a wall of dextrously arranged local stonework above which a feeder pool trickles its azure water down creating a soothing waterfall into the main pool itself. A glance behind treats you to bounding views across the green hills down the towards to the shimmering sea. A bubbling natural stone hot tub sits alongside for those lazy evenings with a glass of Champagne soaking up the vista.

With several shaded dining and apèritif areas dotted around the dramatic and beautifully manicured swimming pool area and gorgeous gardens, the only decision you’ll have to make is which of the fine local wines to drink and which seating area to enjoy them from.
