The swimming pool, pretty gardens and patios are available for lazy days or relaxing after a busy day out. The spectacular sunsets and the twinkling lights of far off mountain villages make the evenings outside magical.
The views also offer a beautiful sky for storm watching, huge thunder heads to one side of the horizon and sunshine on the other with a rainbow in the middle always delights.
