The Location
This large plot slopes gently downward from the large terraced area in front of the two houses to the road, one house is detached and the other is semi detached. The attached property has its own separate access.

Both houses have excellent views of the 'white mountains' from their elevated position on this large 740m2 plot of land (see picture lower right). The garden offers a variety of trees, figs, mulberry, orange, lemon, kumquat, and walnut, olives, in addition to the many flowering shrubs.
