A travel cot, high chair and stair gate are in the property as well as some games and books, for adults and children. Guests also have shared access to our beautiful indoor heated pool and Turkish hammam as well as use of the hard tennis court and five acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. The gardens are spectacular with topiary and sculptures to enjoy and wonder at, two ponds perfect for watching birds and fishes and in the middle of the garden is a unique Pavilion inspired by The Alhambra.
