Villa Talaia

There are plenty of living space options to choose from here – both inside and out. 

The outdoor pool will almost certainly be the heart of the action day to day. It’s lined with loungers and adjoined by a large shady seating area, bar/kitchen and dining area. There’s even a fire pit for sitting around on cooler spring or autumn nights.

Down at the end of the garden, there are a further two shaded seating areas with sofas, armchairs and low tables.

Inside the art-filled living area has a stylish L-shaped, light chocolate sofa at its heart, a contemporary gas fire and a large TV.

Up on the roof, there’s more seating with a complete Ibiza-style leisure zone complete with cinema and a 10-person Jacuzzi.

The kitchen is a sleek gloss white affair with Gaggenau appliances – oven, steam oven, coffee machine, and a microwave and induction hob – along with all the other necessaries like an integrated fridge freezer, kettles, Nespresso and a dishwasher.

Alongside the pool and next to the kitchen/bar area is the main outdoor dining space under a shady pergola. It sits 20 comfortably.

There’s no breakfast room but the kitchen island seamlessly merges into a table with benches suitable for breakfast/informal meals/children.

The roof terrace has a bar, barbecue and seating area for 10.

Down on the lower ground floor, there’s a full gym (all machines and free weights) which includes a large sauna, small heated indoor pool and a nearby fridge with refreshments. Two massage tables are available.
