It boasts original features, including ornate cornicing and a decorative fireplace. The space is around 45m squared with double height ceilings. The cornicing is ornate and original, you could stare at it for hours! The enormous bay window gives stunning views out to the hills, and at night time the city below lights up like a Christmas tree. Large wooden shutters on either side of the window fold out to give you the privacy you need in the evenings. The mezzanine bed is extremely comfortable and there is ample storage space for clothing and suitcases in the large wardrobe as you enter on the right.
