The large table with an L-shaped bench provides a cosy gathering spot for all guests during lunch or dinner. In the summer, the outdoor areas are furnished with round wrought-iron tables, where you can enjoy meals and breakfast al fresco amidst the cool shade of the plants. In case of rain, other rooms are available, including an elegant dining room with an antique stove.
The patio features a vintage wicker lounge set, where you can sip an aperitif in a cool and pleasant setting, use the computer connected to free Wi-Fi, read, and smoke in complete relaxation. Serving as a backdrop is the antique marble fountain, which enhances the harmony of the setting, where the red tile floor stands out.
