Exterior Description

(280 m2)

Casa del Passero is one of the farmhouses in the hamlet, and it has been recently restored and redecorated with new bathrooms and modern comforts, such as Satellite TV. Since the house is located in the hamlet, it does not have a “proper” garden. There are chairs and tables outside on the flagstone and grass patio. The shared pool is located about 500 meters away, up a lovely cypress-lined path. It is furnished with large umbrellas for shade, lounge chairs, and chairs. There is a changing room below the pool where guests can leave their bathing suits. There also is a refrigerator for drinks and a separate bathroom. The pool is occasionally used by the owners. The fact that the pool is located a ways from the house as well as having a locked gate at the beginning of the path make this a good choice for families with small children.
