– An ensuite bathroom with tub, wash basin, wc and bidet
– A bedroom with double bed and two large windows facing the south side of the garden
– A big room with three single beds and three windows overlooking the garden and a mezzanine floor which has two windows overlooking a centuries old oak.

All the doors of the country house are from the 1700s and the floors are all handmade “terra cotta” tile.

The garden

The garden of Cabernet Countryhouse has an area of about 4500 square meters, mostly lawn and with large trees: olive trees, a centuries old oak, maples, fruit trees, and many roses. The panorama is 360 degrees on the surrounding hills and on our vineyards. The salt water swimming pool is about 50 meters away from the main house and is equipped with shower and foot wash basin. It has a large staircase for access to the water where you can relax on the water’s edge. It is equipped with a thatched pergola, floating loungers and deck chairs.
The garden is furnished with a large table (seating up to 12 people) under a pergola of American grape, perfect for open-air luncheons and dinners. A porch perfect for relax. The farmhouse has an adjoining chicken coop, but separate from the structure. If you want you can visit our hens, “the girls” as we like to call them, and even collect their eggs.
The hens, like the garden, will be cared for by our gardener and if you like, you can keep them free in the garden.
