The space

A large painting of the family tree plus other historic paintings fill this room. An enormous sofa and various comfortable chairs make this area feel very sumptuous and welcoming.

A stone fireplace is positioned at the end of this room. A door leads outside to the large walled garden, perfect alfresco dining, with a private swimming pool behind a small gate. Through a door from this living room is a large dining room, accommodating over 12 people.
