The house sits in one hectare (about 2 1/2 acres) of natural woodland and superb, tranquil terraced gardens with magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.
Swim in the pool or sit and read your book in the hammock under the pergola.
Outside the house, new terraces have been formed - these are mainly lawns with many different fruit trees: figs, apricots, mulberries, plums, crab-apples, cherries, blackcurrants, vines. There are five parterres enjoying different vegetation with a woodland of holm oaks which approaches the side of the house. A childrens’ playhouse at the bottom of the garden helps make it a haven for all the family. We counted 23 species of butterfly during June and July: the nightingales will keep you awake in May!

Independent Comment
This tastefully renovated villa in large grounds and offering many excellent features, is in a most beautiful rural setting, with stunning views all around. Inside you soon appreciate the decoration in attractive pastel shades and stylish furnishings with impressive attention to detail in this well equipped villa. The bedrooms are a good size and the large feature living room/dining room is light and airy, leading to a spacious sun lounge. Excellent for outdoor living with covered terrace in front, shaded dining terrace and garden balcony with superb views. You can also enjoy these views from both around the pool and in the pool! You will need the car for the local shops, bars and restaurants, but this is hardly an inconvenience for such a setting.
