Located in the sunny southern corner of the elegant landscaped gardens, the swimming pool is the perfect spot to laze the day away. There are beautiful views over the countryside and woodland hills beyond and shady corners can be found under the acacia trees where you can sit and let your mind wander...

Relax by the eco-friendly swimming pool (shared with guests staying at La Preghiera), on a sun lounger or simply at a table with a favourite book or magazine.

The pool is cleaned with oxygen and the smallest amounts of chlorine and at the far end the water flows away into a hidden reserve and recycles in continual motion through the pool.

The gardens have been carefully tended to create an oasis of calm and tranquillity. Banks of rosemary, lavender and thyme stretch alongside the grassy pathways; hibiscus, acacia, and rose trees bloom and a gentle stream meanders through the sunken garden.

Laze on one of the elegant sun loungers under the branches of the acacia tree, or sit a while on a stone bench, found at different view points in the garden, simply absorbing the atmosphere. Sip a glass of wine or have afternoon tea under the shade of an umbrella at one of the tables alongside the pool area.
