The three rooms · what's in each oneLiving room you pass through · double bedroom · second bedroom with the aquarium. To work out before you travel whether the house suits you.

The apartment has three main rooms, each with its own character. Floor-to-ceiling windows in all three look onto the garden. Below you'll find an overview to help you work out before you travel whether the house suits you — for couples, families, small groups of friends. We make up the sofa beds ourselves before you arrive, according to the layout we've agreed: you walk into a house that's already ready.

   As you come in · the entrance, the laundry, the little staircase

   You enter the apartment from above: open the door and you find yourself in a small welcome area with a little sofa and the fuse box, and from here — still on the same level — you reach the laundry (a stacked Siemens washing machine and dryer, ironing board, a supply of towels · dedicated page below). From this area, a short wooden staircase of just a few steps with a handrail on both sides goes down to the main floor: the living room, the three rooms, and the garden at the far end. For anyone who walks without difficulty you barely notice it — the change in level is small and the handrails are easy to use on either side. But if you're travelling with someone who has trouble walking, or in a wheelchair, La Tana is not fully accessible: the change in level between the entrance and the living quarters can't be managed without help. If mobility is an important part of your trip, write to us before you book — we'll send you detailed photos and work out together whether the house suits your case.

   Living room · the heart of the house · a room you pass through

   Almost everything is here: the kitchenette with the induction hob and the fridge beneath it, a square folding table (it opens out like a book and doubles in size — it couldn't be easier, and people usually move it to the middle of the room to eat all together) with its chairs, a Smart TV with Sky and the apps (Netflix, Amazon, RaiPlay), the cuckoo clock on the wall, and a large window onto the garden. Between the two sofas there's also a small wooden coffee table for books, remote controls, a cup. And the two sofas can become beds, in two layouts: the default and the special one (below). The white writing desk, on the other hand, is in the second bedroom — it can be moved to the double bedroom on request. Something many guests appreciate: the full-height green doors of the kitchenette can be closed completely — so the kitchen disappears and the living room stays just a living room — or opened right up while you're cooking, putting the hob, fridge, microwave and larder all within reach.

   The two living-room layouts · default and "everyone separate"

   For five guests with no particular requests we open out just one of the two sofas — that one becomes a bed, the other stays a sofa in front of the TV for the evening. Handy for families with one child more than the bedrooms hold, or groups who want an extra bed while keeping a living area. If instead there are five of you and you'd each prefer your own separate bed, just let us know in advance: we open both sofas out as beds, and one person sleeps alone in the double bed. In that case the living room serves only as a passageway and kitchen, not as a living area.

   Double bedroom · a full double bed

   The room for two. A double bed, a bedside table on each side, a large full-width wardrobe, a mirror, a window onto the garden. One of the two Mitsubishi dehumidifiers is here too. On request, we can move the white writing desk and chair into this room (it's usually in the second bedroom) — handy for anyone travelling for work as well. For families with small children, on request we add a folding travel cot.

   Second bedroom · single bed + sofa bed + aquascape

   A single bed and a sofa that turns into a bed: for one or two people. This room is also home to the Japanese-style aquascape, the family bookshelves and a small collection of minerals. A window onto the garden. It's the room that works well for anyone travelling with a child, or with a friend who prefers a separate bed.
