Guests can enjoy post dinner drinks and late lounge music on Friday and Saturday nights.

The terrace is reminiscent of a chic Italian garden restaurant and ideal for those looking for an authentic Italian meal or a relaxing drink after a village walk, now with furry companions in tow too. It also boasts a retractable roof and features and a beautiful white pergola strung with Italian crystal pendant lights, an open flame fireplace and the abundance of verdant planting creates a captivating terrace, reminiscent of a chic Italian restaurant.
