We had such a wonderful time! The location was perfect and the house delightful. The house was immaculate! The windows were so clean that I had a hard time knowing whether they were open or not. We used the roof garden every night. It was the first time I had a "normal" staircase going up to it. (most had narrow stairs or worse the metal circular kind that were hard to get up, let alone carry food or wine) If you have a chance I would love to know the story of the round architecture. Did you buy it that way, design it, or was it the builder's idea? My friend said it was the only house she's seen that she could just move in and not change a thing--and that includes the Sunday house tours! It was elegant without being over the top, had great comfortable places to read, and a kitchen that invites you to stay and cook something great. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful oasis.
