"Improbably beautiful" was the first thought to enter my head when emerging onto the terrace. No I didn't see the dawn rising over the domes of San Roque church or the one behind the spire of Santa Maria, but the daytime townscape and countryside with the Mediterranean in the background is equally captivating and relaxing, plus you don't have to get up early or stay up really late.

This is a traditional village home that has been modernised in recent years and now provides a comfortable home for full time living or maybe just for holidays. Being close to local amenities makes day to day life nice and easy even if you don't fancy keeping a car. Shank's pony works a treat!

Come and see, fall in love and settle; there are far worse things in life. If you might get locked down again, why not do it in a different style this time and enjoy an interesting new view on life.
