Rental to Indulge in Serenity. Welcome to Lilchester, the eclectic style garden house that I, Lilia have turned into my own wonderland. As someone who has loved travelling their whole life, I've worked hard to develop my home into a multicultural extravaganza, blending Scandinavian design with Moroccan décor and adornments from across Europe and Asia. The garden has an open fire pit that guests use regularly for barbecues, and with music and party lights, the atmosphere can be quite magical! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport -
