Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site terrace, gardens and swimming pool here. They're shared with the building's other residents. The swimming pool is only available from mid- to late May until the end of September, depending on the weather.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
