The Space
Having recently undergone a full renovation, our primary goal was to create a “home-away-from-home” experience. We wanted to avoid the impersonal feel often associated with holiday homes. Instead, we focused on crafting a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, complete with all the essentials and comforts you’d expect in your own home. You’ll find amenities such as Sky TV, a hairdryer, shampoo and body wash, along with a fully equipped kitchen featuring tools like mixing bowls and potato peelers. When we first acquired the property, it was clear the space wasn’t being used to its full potential, particularly with only one bedroom. Our initial task was to remove the outdated kitchen, transforming that area into a spacious master bedroom. The new kitchen was seamlessly integrated into the living area, where we maximized space by adding a breakfast bar for dining and mounting the TV on the wall to free up floor space. The final phase of the renovation was remodelling the bathroom. We chose a sleek marble finish and lowered the ceiling to install spotlights, creating a warm and bright ambiance. We hope you enjoy the thoughtful touches!
