An apartment on the ground floor is equipped to accommodate people with mobility difficulties and the area outside the house is accessible. The house is surrounded by a beautiful vineyard and fruit trees and in the garden there is a large swimming pool (7 x 12 meters), surrounded by greenery. The spacious apartments allow relax and comfort like at home: fully equipped kitchen, large rooms, private outdoor spaces, with the convenience of free wireless connection.
