The sitting room is equipped with wood burning stove, TV / DVD / CD player, complimentary CD and DVD library, comfortable furniture and a window that frames yet another beautiful view.

The second bedroom is off the sitting room and has an original terracotta floor and vaulted ceiling; the view looks out over mile after mile of mountains and valleys.
