Exterior
13,500 sq m of luxuriant vegetation, framed by an enclosure of Mediterranean scrub that almost completely surrounds it. It is enriched by an olive grove from which an organic extra-virgin olive oil is produced; you can stroll in the surrounding wood to look for scented medicinal herbs. Immediately past the entrance gate is a large parking area, isolated from the house thanks to the characteristic natural stone walls; a few stone steps lead to the external appurtenances of the house, starting from the three-cone trullo with its external sitting area shaded by a small white iron pergola and the large terrace of the dining area with built-in barbecue and spacious wooden table, perfect for outdoor meals. Walking along the characteristic stone paths, embellished by a luxuriant green lawn, you come to the two lamias used as bedrooms, each with a furnished outdoor patio. The large salt-purified swimming pool is in the centre of the property, completed by three small gazebos that offer shady moments of relaxation by the pool thanks to the comfortable sunbeds and deck chairs provided. The exterior is completed by a gym area equipped with fitness machines. Many small corners, surrounded by greenery and enriched by seating, offer moments of peace and silence.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens’ grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
The beautiful pool area is located behind the kitchen area. This rectangular infinity pool, measuring 10 x 5 m with a constant depth of 1,50 m, has chlorine and salt purification and 5 circular steps for access to the water. In the large stone-paved area is a solarium with 3 gazebos, one belonging to each suite, equipped with deck chairs and wooden sunbeds; further sunbeds by the pool complete the area. It enjoys a quiet location and privacy thanks to the surrounding vegetation. The swimming pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.
