Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen, a washing machine, and a dining area. Rooms include air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a terrace or balcony with garden views. Daily housekeeping, complimentary water and snacks, and laundry service are provided at no additional charge.
Garden & Courtyard
The mansion's large courtyard is filled with blooming orange and lemon trees, offering shaded seating with comfortable loungers and chairs. A library stocked with books, backgammon, and a chess set is available for guests in the garden. Outdoor furniture and a variety of seating nooks allow guests to relax under the citrus trees throughout the day.
