It is delightfully furnished and quite cozy.
Down two steps from the entrance hall is the dining room with beautiful open hearth fireplace. From the dining room a hallway leads to the other rooms on this floor. There is an open archway between the kitchen and the living room. To the left of the dining room, a short flight of steps leads down to the spacious, luminous living room which is surrounded on three sides by large panoramic windows that face the outside olive groves. There is a satellite TV, CD player with stereo and DVD in this room. The house has WIFI.
The hallway instead, leads from the dining room to the rest of the house. The first door on the right is to the spacious kitchen that is complete with gas range, electric ventilated oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, electric kettle, and fridge with freezer. A glass paned door in the kitchen opens to the side of the house where there is a furnished terrace that is ideal for enjoying one’s meals while looking at the countryside. It is fully furnished and has steps leading down to where the wood oven and the barbecue are located.
Proceeding down the hall, to the right is a complete bathroom with shower stall. At the end of the hall are two doors, each to a beautiful double bedroom. See details below on bed configuration. Always at the end of the hall and across from the bathroom is the door to another complete bathroom, also with shower stall.
