Welcoming home where the serene architecture integrates the outdoor spaces and inspires living!
Fascinating, functional, generous and warm throughout. And I could also live on the 3rd storey rooftop terrace with views across the old city and to the mountains. But beautiful views are had from every room, with numerous garden courtyards.
