WiFi connectivity and laptop-friendly workspaces are a priority for us, allowing our guests to work from home.
Internet speed according to our phone bill is up to 50Mbps, but due to limitations all over the island the actual average speed is at least 21Mbps, which is a solid WiFi speed allowing HD video streaming, as well as seamless teleconferencing, which we do extensively. There are at least two WiFi networks on two routers (one in the main house and one in the annex), plus various extensions, securing a reliable WiFi anytime and everywhere in and around the house. There are also laptop-friendly workspaces in all bedrooms and all communal spaces. For the outdoor areas there are fixed as well as portable tables.
