The large bathroom for these two rooms, with two washbasins, shower and bathtub with a distant view, is located on the pool level. A covered external staircase (to be considered if you have small children - due to the risk of falling) leads to the upper living area. Here you will find a large living room with a small kitchenette. In addition to a bathroom, there is a second bedroom on the other side of the living room.
