Charming Retreat with Pool

Welcome to my home!

Escape to a peaceful retreat where comfort and relaxation come together in a calm natural setting. This cozy house, located within a larger property, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, while sharing the outdoor areas with the main house — making it an excellent option for families or groups wishing to rent both spaces together and enjoy quality time side by side.

Step into the inviting open-plan living area, where a modern sofa with soft accent pillows creates the perfect space to unwind. The dining area is ideal for relaxed meals, while the kitchenette, set against a charming brick accent wall, is equipped with essentials such as a microwave, coffee maker, and basic utensils for preparing light meals and snacks.

The bedroom offers a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, featuring a large bed dressed with fresh linens and filled with natural light from the generous window. A stylish sliding barn door adds both character and practicality to the space.

Outside, guests can enjoy the shared garden and outdoor area, perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, enjoy a barbecue with family or friends, or simply relax on the sun loungers surrounded by greenery. The outdoor space was designed for quiet moments, leisure, and meaningful gatherings.

For an even more relaxing experience, yoga mats and cushions are also available for guests to use, making this an ideal setting for small retreats, wellness escapes, or peaceful group stays focused on rest and reconnection.

The space is always professionally cleaned for your comfort.
