A 15m x 5m private swimming pool gently slopes from 1.5m at the deep end to 1.2 m at the shallow end. The pool is in a peaceful spot situated on a hillside and has a large patio. The pool is surrounded on one side by a mature rosemary hedge providing beautiful perfume in the evening and fresh herbs for cooking and by the other a sloping flowerbed. The marble patio is spacious with plenty of room for the 8 sun loungers. Most of the area around the pool is unshaded and there are no parasols but for those who prefer not to sunbath there is shade in the afternoons by the pool under an oak tree, here there is a stone table that seats 6.
The pool is unfenced so non-swimmers and young children must be supervised.
In 2022 we installed a new water-cleaning system that uses salt chlorination. The water quality is monitored and controlled automatically and the resulting balance is gentler on the skin and eyes
The garden is informal. By the house there is a large stone table in the dappled shade under the oak tree, from here there is a lovely view of the valley, the table seats 12. A lantern hangs from the oak tree and provides the perfect light for intimate suppers or large parties in the evening. There are two other garden areas on a lower level, one which surrounds the bocce court and the other ‘The Secret Garden’ with an uninterrupted view of the valley.
Large driveway for parking several cars
