The front veranda that is connected to the sitting room by way of a large sliding window is a great spot to sit for a pre dinner drink or out of the sun and watch the ever changing patterns on the sea, while looking for dolphins. Adjacent to the front veranda is the pool, put in before infinity pools were the rage it does benefit from the fact you can get around it. Barba_Yanni  Pool.jpg
