Details of Volare's interiors
Living Room
Leather couches are super comfortable. Sometimes we eat a simple dinner on the glass table. The fireplace warms us, but that doesn’t stop us from pulling a sheepskin or kangaroo hide around us, just for the fun of it. Extra firewood is right outside the glass door, so the evening keeps going until everyone is ready to sleep. Behind the couch is the stereo system, plus spare candles, a telescope and serving dishes. The fireplace is ready to use when you arrive, and each day we come to clean it out and lay new wood.

Main Floor Bedroom
With a queen size bed, this is the most private of the bedrooms, and the quietest. The entry door from the deck allows wheelchair access. We’ve built a table on rollers to pass over the bed, very useful for eating, working or watching TV (especially if you are disabled; I was its first user). We can remove the table and add a crib or a single bed to this room. Bedside lamps are touch controlled, and there’s a ceiling fan with remote control, plus USB charging ports on the outlets and generous closets and shelf space.

Downstairs Bath
Infinite hot water, a shower with adjustable head height, an oversized bathtub and candles, hard to leave it.
Master Bedroom
Queen size bed, large chest of drawers, and silk curtains for privacy that also open when you want to expand your vistas. The room overlooks the valley, with a private balcony and chairs, and a fireman’s pole (don’t try it without an expert instructor). Bedside tables have touch lamps and USB charging ports on both sides. There’s a small TV in the closet with CLARO dish service, a connected DVD player and a small DVD library.

Upstairs 2nd Bedroom
Option of one king size bed or two single beds. Private balcony with chairs. Silk curtains for visual privacy, plus a large chest of drawers, closet and ample shelf space. Bedside touch lamps and USB connectors.

Upstairs Office
At the top of the stairs is an office for two people with a shared printer, an ideal place to work from home. Two routers, upstairs and downstairs, give 30 Mbps coverage throughout the house and on the deck (not at the hot tub, that’s a sacred no-work place). Folded against the wall is a seventh bed, a single we can set up on request, with a touch lamp and USB charger on the shelf above. Note: this room has no door, so there is no visual privacy.

Upstairs Bath
The two bedrooms and the study share the upstairs bathroom. An oversize bathtub and a separate shower with two shower head supports (for little kids through basketball players), all with a view of the hot tub outside.
