===== ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTION =====
Villa Marina used to be our family house until 2016 when we all set off and decided it was time to give it a new life!
Named after my mother, Marina, the villas stands on a big land of 8 hectares with fields, fruits and olive trees.
The place is secluded and very quiet but also not far from towns which are only 6-7 km away.
The villa stands on a small hilltop, with a large covered patio in front of the house for outdoor dining. On one side a veranda, on the other side, a small annex with bedroom, kitchen and a bathroom with shower.

From any of the two doors, you will be enchanted by the size and beauty of this house. The interiors are original with red bricks archways and tall ceilings. Right between the two entrances a large and bright "double" kitchen: the classic one with all the kitchen furniture, fridge and stoves/oven and the old one with a wood oven and a marble top table for your home cook preparations.
From the kitchen, walking anticlockwise direction, a beautiful wooden table dominates the dining room where we used to gather with our family. The living room has a large chimney and several sofas with colorful pillows and paintings to watch TV or to read a book. You can access the patio from here: the perfect room to read a book watching the vivid green nature outside the glass doors.
Behind the living room, a double bedroom with bathroom. This is the only bedroom on the ground floor, with a door to the back of the house. Next to the bedroom, going in circle, a laundry room and a staircase to take you to the first floor.
On the first floor you get to the corridor with a big desk if you have some emails to check. From the corridor you can get to the three bedrooms and bathrooms (two double, one twin beds). There is also a wooden staircase to the second floor where we have made a reading area with two twin sofas and an authentic home theater with 2 rows of REAL vintage red velvet seats: You can watch your favorite programs on a cinema screen!

Outside a vast area is entirely private for you. The pool area has a huge park for a large pool (12mt*5mt) with deckchairs and a shower. Two marquees and a wooden pagoda if you want to chill in the shade, eat a snack or drink some wine!
