Inside: Serralunga has a simple and practical layout for a holiday house. It's a restored farmhouse, so the walls are made of thick stone, making it cool, even in the height of summer. Even so, there's air conditioning in the bedrooms, so you can keep the windows closed at night if you prefer. It has three double bedrooms, two on the ground floor and the third up a spiral staircase in an observation turret. The bedrooms downstairs are at opposite ends of the house and both have ensuite bathrooms with showers, whereas the upstairs bedroom uses a bathroom on the ground floor. All bedrooms have views of the pool and the surrounding countryside. Also on the ground floor is a sitting room looking out onto the veranda, with two comfortable sofas, a large TV, a stereo with iPod jack and a fireplace. Next to the sitting room is the large kitchen with a bar and dining table, which leads in turn to a double bedroom. The kitchen opens to the pool area at the front of the house and an outside dining area to the rear.
Outside: you'll park your car outside the garden gate of Serralunga, and carry your bags up a short cobbled pathway past the pool and onto the terrace. The pool is stylishly lined with polished grey composite, and features a beach area, great for sunbathing, or for the kids to play. Beside the pool is a wooden sundeck. The pergola area between the pool and the house is extensive, and offers some great shade. Behind the kitchen is a shaded dining table, and a barbecue area. the garden features local shrubs and succulents, and some recently planted fruit trees. Altogether it offers a very agreeable atmosphere. We felt good there!

Think About
A practical, modern house close to sandy beaches. Great for families. The closest beaches are in the Belice Nature Reserve - wild and unspoilt. There are no lidos and you have to park just outside the reserve and walk for 5-10 minutes. The effort is worth it! Otherwise the seafront of nearby Porto Palo has a fantastic beach with lidos, bars and restaurants.
