The residence is situated on a sloping site near the coast and offers beautiful panoramic views of the countryside. It seems that large balcony can topple the structure from its roots on the rocky hillside, but it?s impossible. The building has an extremely robust construction and reliable foundation. From the outside house seems to be very compact and don?t have large internal spaces, but it is another illusion. There are 3 bedrooms, spacious living room with kitchen and dining room and even a mini solarium inside.
