Hi-Fi system with 4 speakers on the ground floor and two speakers on the front the terrace can be controlled from the living room and the outdoor kitchen.

For this reason, in this house have been selected contemporary LED lamps where the emphasis is on the quality of lighting and low power consumption. Children will be delighted by the pirate look of their room, which is decorated with a hull of a pirate ship with two guns, beds of massive beams embedded in the wall, steering wheel, pirate map and treasure chests.
