Figs on the Funcho
Considered one of the best Art Escapes in 2019 by Simon Heptinstall, Figs on the Funcho is a beautiful riverside property just 20 minutes drive from the gorgeous coast. It is peaceful and private, overlooking the River Funcho, and with wonderful vistas across the countryside. The open-air deck, with elevated views and shaded by carob trees, is the studio. Inspiration is all around, in the magnificent sunsets and the trees swaying in the breeze.
