Accommodation:
The house is set in a 1300m2 plot of beautifully landscaped land, commanding a view over a small lake, crossed by a path leading in the direction of the beach. The architecture is of south-East Asia style designed by the prominent Brazilian architect, David Bastos. The accommodation is in separate units, giving a feeling of space and freedom even when fully occupied as the main living areas are detached from the bedroom areas.
Living room. This fully windowed timber built room stands alone overlooking the swimming pool and barbeque deck. Seating is on two cream leather sofas and three poufs in air-conditioned comfort surrounding a rustic wood coffee table near the drinks bar. On an old carpenters bench houses the television, Brazil's SKY satellite (not to be confused with BSB Sky), DVD player and separate stereo, thus enabling children to watch the television in the lounge, whilst adults can listen to music in the outside bar/ barbeque area and inside dining room.
Accommodation Continued:
