TERRACE, SWIMMING POOL & GARDEN

TERRACE - The terrace spans the width of the house over part of which is a pergola over a table for dining outside. At the other end of the terrace is a fig tree which provides delicious figs as well as good shade.

SWIMMING POOL - The swimming pool is on the lower terrace below the house, and is south facing, catching the sun all day long. The pool is ideal for children with a shallow platform at one end which then slopes gently down to about six feet in the deep end. A “salty chlorinator” system is used which eliminates the “red eye” effect of chlorine.

THE GARDEN – There is a good stretch of garden either side of the house. Steps take you down to the lower terrace in both directions where the swimming pool lies below the terrace up above. An imposing line of cypress trees (see photo below) on the lower terrace lead up to the pool at the end of which another pergola provides a perfect shady spot at the end of the pool area. On the kitchen side of the house there is a magnificent line of walnut trees. Other produce available in season are cherries, plums, walnuts and hazelnuts.
