Falcon Inn Viva

Although a free standing property within its own right, this is essentially an extension to its sister property located immediately opposite. It has its own reception, restaurant and facilities with some, such as the tennis courts, shared. Grounds are attractively landscaped and surround the large pool.

Offering a choice of board arrangements at its restaurant, there are few alternative dining venues in the immediate vicinity. It is suited to couples and families content with a non beachside location.

Exterior

Palm trees and trimmed shrubs separate the triangular garden, bordered by low brick wall, which fronts the angular set down area in front of the double-height, white main building.

Arched windows to the upper-level of the inverted V-shaped main building blend well with the high blue-tiled mosaic facade of the entrance doorway which has pointed arch feature and reached by a series of semi-circular steps.
