The old farmhouse is set in an expansive private park with large lawns, ancient olive trees, stately cypress, tall shade trees, lovely lavender beds, flowering plants and shrubs. You'll enjoy an array of recreational facilities including a cascading swimming pool, all-weather tennis court and boules court. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a large courtyard and arbored dining terraces, complete with wrought-iron dining tables and chairs. In such a thoroughly relaxing setting, you'll have just one problem - summoning the energy to pull yourself away.

Inside, the farmhouse has been beautifully renovated with no expense spared. It features the highest quality building materials, fine appliances and ceramic fixtures. Vaulted stone ceilings, exposed stone walls, stone and terra cotta tile floors accent a combination of stylish contemporary and warm antique furnishings, richly-colored fabrics and fine carpets. There are all modern conveniences including high-speed internet access.

The house is L-shaped and comprises two wings. Off the entry to the main wing is a lovely living room with vaulted stone ceilings. Here, upholstered sofas and easy chairs are grouped around a wood coffee table by the old stone fireplace. The room is warm and welcoming with large windows, occasional tables and lamps.

A stone and wood-beamed arch leads to the French country kitchen, also with vaulted stone ceiling. This is an oasis for the best of cooks with professional gas cook-top, two ovens, all appliances and equipment. Spacious granite counters separate the kitchen from the dining area with a long wooden farm table and chairs for twelve people.

There are a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are in the main wing. Three bedrooms and three more bathrooms are in the garden wing.
