This peaceful, self-contained studio in Raumati South is designed for couples seeking space to rest, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company in a slower, more spacious way. Set at the rear of a quiet garden property, the space is simple, serene, and ideal for a quiet weekend or midweek pause. You’ll walk past the main house to reach the studio, which sits privately at the back of the section. I live onsite and am available if needed, while respecting your space and privacy throughout your stay. You’re welcome to choose between a loft-style bed or a fold-out couch bed, depending on what suits you best. Please bring your own linen and towels. The studio includes an ensuite bathroom, a small kitchenette for basic food preparation, and a peaceful outdoor seating area. No meals or breakfast are provided. Expect birdsong in the morning and evening, and a gentle rhythm that supports slowing down together. Optional Add-On: Imago Couples Session During your stay, you're welcome to book a one-hour Imago-style couples session—a safe, respectful space to deepen connection and improve communication. These sessions are guided with care and offered only by request. If you'd like to know more, feel free to enquire when booking. - extra charge applies ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - No onsite parking available ### Kitchenette - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances;
