The Space

Inside, the accommodation in Villa Merlo is arranged over three floors. The decor throughout is elegant and refined. On the ground floor, there are two spacious living areas.

Doors from both rooms lead on to the main terrace. Steps also lead from the first living area to a loft room. This is essentially a spacious two room apartment consisting of a bathroom with shower and a living area with table and sofas. Two sofa beds here (one double and one single) allows the space to be used both as a family bedroom as well as an area for games and entertainment.

This has an ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi bath as well as a bathroom with shower. Two further double bedrooms both have balconies. There is another bathroom with shower on this floor too.
