Two bedrooms, a big pool, a proper setup for grilling and eating outside, and enough room to actually get work done. It's not a hotel — it's ours, and we like having people over.
Two height-adjustable desks with proper monitors, set up right in the middle of a big open living room and kitchen — not a back bedroom. Fast internet, and enough space that two people can work at once without getting in each other's way.
A proper kitchen, a fridge that makes its own ice, and enough counter space that cooking for a crowd isn't a project.
A proper-sized pool, lit up blue after dark, with an egg chair in the corner for whoever isn't swimming.
Each has its own private bathroom. The only difference between them is windows — one has one, the other has two. Every bed's base is actually two single mattresses, so each room can be set up as one double, or a double plus a single.
Set up as a double.
Set up as double + single.
Full bathrooms in marble tile — each with two separate showers side by side, two taps, two rainfall heads each. No queueing in the morning.
A shade sail and covered pergola over part of the patio, a big round table that seats everyone, and a proper gas grill. This is where most evenings end up.
The garden's still filling in — lemon, almond, grapevines, and herbs are all in the ground, and the first mulberries have already come in.
