The luxury L-shaped dining kitchen is well equipped for longer stays, with an electric range cooker, washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, wine cooler, coffee maker and plenty of storage. A dining table for six sits by the door to the enclosed rear patio, making it easy to drift outside for alfresco meals in warmer weather.
