Lush gardens impress with a bouquet of tropical palms, a burbling water feature, and an oasis of landscaping that stays evergreen, whatever the season.
Take a walk through an flawless estate that unfolds over Spanish blooms and lush shrubbery, bursting pineapple palms and cute flowers. Over multi-colored sunsets and mountain panoramas. Stroll down a stone staircase and onto the terrace, facing the big private pool, plenty of sun loungers, and a small summer lounge and pergola with dining, lounging, and a gas BBQ/dishwasher/sink station to cook a tropical feast.
Every detail at Villa is created for classic Spanish grace, beginning with a elegant blend of high-end furnishings and rich antiques.
