Home truths
This is an upside-down house to take advantage of the views, so the living room, kitchen and terrace is on the first floor.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
There's a change of linen once a week, and housekeeping is twice a week.
