Furnishing is new and contemporary of an Italian designer (Maxalto), mixed with a few antics. It is very elegant and comfortable. The brand new King size bed is equipped with high quality mattresses. The bed can not be split into two separate beds.

The stereo equipment is traditional and of excellent quality. A new flat screen TV is installed with access to multi-channels (incl. American and British channels).
