The stone stairs lead to the entrance foyer with floor-to-ceiling windows and comfortable furniture for lounging with a coffee or a cocktail. Just inside the foyer, a regal suite, with a fireplace in the living area, an adjoining oversize bedroom and French doors out to the patio and swimming-pool deck.

The suite has a king-size bathroom with large tub, separate shower stall and dressing room with generous closets. There are two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms on this floor, offering comfort and privacy from the other occupants of the house, but with easy access to the common areas. Upstairs another foyer leads to a two-bedroom flat with its own full-bathroom on one side, while off to the other there is grand living-room with a fireplace, high ceiling. open kitchen, ten-person dining table and artful decor, seemingly out of a French pre-revolutionary chateaux.

This a salon in which to entertain in style, or enjoy a celebratory extended-family dinner. The most glorious aspects of this extravagant house are its unhindered surround-views of both mountains and seaside that seem to bring the outdoors inside the house, and wide open when on the multi-leveled courtyards, patios and swimming deck.

This is a holiday home where dreams are born and become realities in the sweetest possible manner. Yours to discover and enjoy and experience over and over again.
