Stepping outside, the beauty of the villa truly comes to life. The meticulously landscaped garden is filled with Mediterranean plants such as lavender, olive trees, and cypresses, offering plenty of shade and privacy. The huge, heated swimming pool takes centre stage, surrounded by vast greenery – perfect for a refreshing swim or lounging in the sun. After a game of pétanque, you can unwind with an aperitif on one of the shaded terraces or enjoy an al fresco meal under the large pergola. A pool house and dovecote offer additional space for lounging or socialising, with a small kitchen and bathroom for your convenience.
