The interior has elegant furniture, sophisticated decor and antiques. It seems incredible that this villas was built in 2001 as it seems so substantial and classical in style that it could be many years older although the benefit is that everything is in perect order.
The swimming pool, set in the front of the house, has a children’s paddling pool (0.5m deep) which flows into it giving a soothing trickling effect, and is surrounded by a vast garden with a large patio and lush lawn. Garden furniture under the pergola invites you to enjoy a drink and the natural huge stone table by the barbecue area is ideal for a summer meal. The garden is peaceful and screened by trees and walls. A particularly nice feature is that the village restaurant will deliver meals to the villa as required.
