Lamario

Rooms description

There are three double en-suite bedrooms with queen-size beds – one off either side of the living space in the new lamia, and the third occupies the old lamia with the accompanying Saracen trullo housing an en-suite. All the bedrooms have air conditioning, heating, black-out blinds, mosquito nets and a TV. There is a sofa-bed in the living area for occasional guests.

Bouganville: A vaulted bedroom that leads off the kitchen and living room, the simple white walls are decorated with rustic touches in natural materials and the bedside tables are circular chunks of hornbeam. The en-suite has a large shower and is similarly decorated in simple white.

Gelsomino: This room is similar to Bouganville with its vaulted ceiling and simple white aesthetic. A small wardrobe on either side frames the bed while the artwork reflects the green outside.

Suite degli Ulivi: Built in the old lamia the main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a small private patio outside. The impressive and atmospheric en-suite in the old trullo has a double shower set in one of the vaulted archways.

The two en-suites in the newly built lamia are simply decorated in white with spacious, high-quality showers. The third one is located in the original trullo and has a double shower in one of the alcoves. There is an outdoor shower by the pool.

The relatively small indoor kitchen is in the open-plan living space of the new lamia. It’s perfect for cooking something quick and easy, however, the real culinary magic happens outside where there is a bigger, expertly equipped preparation, cooking, dining and seating terrace shaded from the sun by a 50sqm pergola. There is an induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, ice machine and Weber BBQ and table seating for 12 – all enabling guests to sit and savour the incredible local produce.

The indoor living and dining space has a dining table that seats eight, a sofa bed, two chairs and a 43”TV. Outside there are several seating areas in both the sun and shade.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request

• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
