Entrance to the property is through an impressive gate into a walled garden, with multiple seating areas, the pool and an amazing view of the hills around Toirano.
The house is part of a large building that was at one time an olive oil mill, and has retained some of the original features including the oil millstone and some of the workings.
The interior is very spacious, with a fire (we didn't use it as the temperature was in the mid-30s during our stay), well appointed kitchen, dining and seating areas. There are bedrooms downstairs and upstairs. The bedrooms are all air conditioned, and one of the rooms has a small terrace outside.
There is secure parking at the rear of the property and a handy space for loading/unloading by the main gate.
Toirano is a pretty town, with a number of restaurants, bars, an excellent ice cream shop and a good mini-supermarket. There are also some local attractions such as the caves and of course the coast a short drive away.
We had a fantastic stay, the weather was perfect, and we didn't have much need to leave the pool & garden.
