Villa Marilu

Carpeted stairs from the entrance lead you down to garden level and the living and dining area with an elegant sitting room decorated in neutral tones and furnished with a three-seater sofa with chaise longue and and a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table, smart TV and a log fireplace for autumn-winter stays.

One side of the sitting room gives access to the sunny conservatory, and the other features a large picture window with a garden view.

We love the conservatory space with further sofa seating, where you can curl up with a book in front of the wood burning stove or enjoy a morning coffee in this lovely sun trap corner.

The indoor dining alcove is open to the sitting room. Furnished with a Scandinavian style dining table and seating for up to eight guests on comfortable wicker chairs.

Terrace doors from here lead out to the main dining terrace with an eight seater round dining table and the Argentinian-style charcoal BBQ.

There is a further six seater dining table in the conservatory, perfect for laid-back morning breakfast with garden views.

The double aspect kitchen at Villa Marilu is exceptional. Contemporary in design with plenty of counter prep space and fully equipped with high qualities accessories: two sinks, a state-of-the-art wine cooler, a large fridge freezer with a built-in ice machine, oven and electric hob, a coffee machine, food mixer, and all standard amenities to make preparing meals during your stay a breeze.

Villa Marilu is designed for laid-back relaxation. It’s ideal for family getaways with no airs and graces, just elegant living with comfortable furnishing throughout.

The sitting room is the place where you can kick back and relax with your favourite album streaming through the Sonos speaker or catching an after dinner movie.

Sandwiched between the sitting room and garden is the sunny conservatory, where come rain or shine, you can relax with a good book. Enjoy a morning coffee with the sun streaming in, or the pitter patter of rain and the wood burning stove for company.

The swimming pool at Villa Marilu is perfect for dipping or swimming; it’s large at 10x5m, perfect for floating around on your inflatable chaise lounger!

If you want to recline poolside and enjoy an afternoon siesta, there are five high-quality sun loungers on the decked terrace where you can enjoy those exquisite sea views.
