A small path winds between the scrubland and provides access to the automatic gate which opens onto a driveway along an impressive olive grove to climb up to a parking area, 3 of which are sheltered by a pergola.
By climbing a few steps, large grassed and stone-paved terraces surround the main house of approximately 300 m² of usable surface area with very large volumes.
