Inside: on the ground floor activity revolves around the huge press room which has 6 metre (20ft) high ceilings and features some of the original oil pressing equipment. The dining/lounging areas are comfortably furnished with sofas, terracotta floors, open fireplace (ornamental only) and a large dining table. There is also a spacious kitchen and, up a small ramp, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom. A small studio leads to a double bedroom with bathroom and then into a second studio (with independent access via a door leading onto the pool side) and a triple bedroom up a flight of stairs - this is under a sloping roof and so maybe a little uncomfortable for tall people. It is, however, perfect for children and has its own en-suite bathroom with shower. Going upstairs, past another bathroom, one arrives at a gallery overlooking the press room. This leads to three comfortable double bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom) and a shared bathroom.
Outside: a long private driveway leads to the main entrance and cars can be parked out of sight. The main outside living area includes a covered barbeque and shaded dining table, a large lawn and stunning pool all surrounded by lush vegetation. The garden is centuries old with palms, cacti, olive and citrus trees and many Mediterranean flowering shrubs. Pre-prandial strolls can be had around the estate where there is also a small pine-tree copse.
