Park

The exterior of villa is immersed in lush Mediterranean vegetation that embraces the house with approximately 1000 sqm of landscape characterised by a variety of plants that evoke the essence of Mediterranean nature. The property is completely fenced for maximum privacy and tranquillity for those who stay here. The driveway is adorned with lavender plants that give off a delicate, relaxing scent and climbing roses that add a romantic touch to the setting. This lush environment creates an atmosphere of tranquillity and serenity, inviting guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding nature. Fruit trees are a distinctive feature of the park of villa. Fragrant medlar trees, with their intense green foliage and scented white flowers, provide juicy fruits of unique flavour during the season, and pomegranate trees add a touch of vitality and colour to the scenery. Following the drive that runs along the entire structure is the area dedicated to outdoor dining, covered by a functional reed canopy. This charming corner is the ideal spot for enjoying outdoor meals in a relaxing atmosphere, with a view of the adjacent swimming pool and the garden, made even more functional by the presence of the barbecue. The exterior is enriched by a seating area, located in a strategic corner in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool, creating a cosy environment shaded by a sail. The garden is equipped with a convenient cold-water shower and a whirlpool tub for four people (unheated). The area around the pool is enriched by the presence of a designer gas fireplace made of steel and a panoramic window, a distinctive element of this house, perfect for creating a warm and cosy atmosphere during summer evenings. The garden of villa is home to some sweet cats from the surrounding countryside, which our younger guests love to cuddle and look after.
