- Stylish ceramic tiles in all rooms
- High-quality triple-glazed aluminium windows with energy-saving profiles for optimum thermal and acoustic insulation

The spacious terrace is ideal for sociable evenings - whether over a barbecue with regional specialities or a glass of Cretan wine under the stars.
