Two of the bedrooms have double beds and ensuite shower rooms (one with oval bathtub, one with shower), another bedroom has twin beds, and the fourth has a double bed and a single bed, these share a large shower room. On the same floor is a studio with settees and television, ideal for relaxing or reading a book, and there is also a laundry room with a washer/dryer.

Spacious gardens with lawns sweep around the side and rear of the villa and there is a shaded area with gazebo, table and chairs and barbeque perfect for dining alfresco.
