Pool & Garden

Set behind the buildings, the enclosed private garden offers a calm retreat from the lively town outside. Designed for relaxed mornings, quiet afternoons, and easy evenings, it is shared exclusively by guests staying on the property.

The Pool

The pool is modest in size and designed for refreshment rather than activity. This is a place to cool down on warm days, enjoy a quiet swim, or sit at the edge with a book or a drink.

Tucked into a green hideaway next to the pool, the outdoor shower is surrounded by olive trees and lush foliage, offering a private and refreshing pause between sun and shade. Nearby, sun loungers and relaxed outdoor seating invite slow afternoons and unhurried evenings.

Outdoor Living

The garden is planted with a wide variety of shrubs, trees, and Mediterranean plants, creating a lush setting that defines the courtyard's atmosphere.

Several outdoor zones are arranged for different moments of the day: a dedicated area for cooking and dining with an outdoor kitchen and grill, a fire place for evening gatherings, and comfortable seating for relaxed outdoor living.

Whether it’s breakfast in the shade, shared meals by the fire, or quiet time on the outdoor sofa, the courtyard is designed to be used—comfortably and with consideration for others.

A Thoughtful Setting

The garden and pool are designed with balance in mind: between privacy and connection, activity and rest. We ask guests to use the designated seating and gathering areas and to avoid lingering directly outside other guests’ entrances or windows.

When renting the entire property, the garden and pool are exclusively yours. Otherwise, these spaces are shared only with the two other apartments on the property.

This shared consideration is what allows the courtyard to remain calm, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.
