Ground Floor

Bedroom 3 Downstairs bedroom with two single beds, desk and computer (no Internet connection unless you have a GPRS phone), also a travel cot (that can be placed anywhere) plus wireless baby alarm with camera, highchair etc.

Lounge with leather 3 piece suite (sits 6), large open log fire, 32” LCD satellite television (freesat only) (if you have a Sky pay card bring it with you), DVD 5.1 Theatre sound system, VCR, Hi Fi system . All walls original exposed stone. If you feel you have a musical flare then we have a new electronic keyboard and professional karaoke machine with nearly 500 songs - if you feel like a good old fashioned sing song in the evenings!

Open Room Has lovely Italian antique table (seats 6+ easily) and large sideboard/cupboard. Also bamboo round glass table with chairs - seats four. We call it the open room as there are only shutters to the large window area and entrance - bigger than a garage door - I.e. No glass. Although the house has mobile and ceiling fans these are rarely used as with nearly 1 metre thick stone walls the insulation is very good. Generally there is a small cool breeze - even in very high temperatures!

Kitchen  Fully equipped kitchen, gas hob and cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, espresso coffee, grinder, food mixer, ice crusher, electric grill, slow cooker etc. Full range of cutlery, crockery etc. Also we have a large 2 metre pine table with 8 seats and also a small bamboo table and 2 chairs. French doors to patio

Outside

Patio Outside kitchen, large patio with mahogany table and six chairs and a pergola with vines growing up supports

Swimming Pool Just finished is 12 x 6 metres, 2m deep end, fully automated with electric solar cover. A small log cabin housing shower, toilet is soon to be constructed.

PoolHouse This was built in Feb 2008 and is a large cabin at the end of the pool. It has two single beds and en suite bathroom (shower, toilet and washbasin - to be completed in Oct 08) and is ideal for older children or adults and increases the sleeping capacity by a further 2-4, although re its description it is primarily meant for use in conjunction with the swimming pool..

Local Amenities Obviously the Adriatic sea, and good skiing in the Winter. Serramonacesca is very quiet, charming and un spoilt village just 5 min walk away. It has two village stores (well stocked) with supermarkets (and Hyper) 15 min away by car.
