Like to stretch out in the pool or do some yoga outdoors?
You stay in a shared double room with bath, enter the rooms directly to the garden and pool area. The house has large common areas such as dining room, as well as a large generous lounge area.
Our 25 meter pool is at your disposal. We have a beautiful roofed pergola, a shala for yoga enthusiasts or just if you like to workout outdoor. The indoor gym has a beautiful view of the countryside. In the background lies the Adriatic Sea.
If you like to go for a walk, all the small roads take you straight out among vineyards and olive groves.
Of course we are bias - but it is beautiful and really genuine landscape in the middle of the wine and olive district.
