The perfume of the flowers enhances the pleasure of relaxing outside, perhaps reading a book with a glass of good wine, and enjoying the sensations of times gone by. The external patio, with its beautiful views, can be accessed from the living room and kitchen.
The parkland around the villa is well-tended, with fruit trees, and a small vineyard. The 6x12 Mts swimming pool is partly hidden by a hedge to ensure complete privacy.
