The luscious gardens overflow with exotic foliage and flowers. From ferns to palms, frangipani to orchids, this haven of tranquillity surrounds a 16-meter salt-water swimming pool. Garden furniture includes two large parasols and four adjustable deck-beds with cushions.

Opening out onto the gardens and pool, the fully equipped modern kitchen and large dining area seats eight comfortably round the table, or four around the breakfast bar. Meals can be prepared by guests or staff. Ask about the local food markets and cookery courses.

The large living room opens out onto a balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. Light and airy, it is tastefully and traditionally furnished with sofas and day-beds. A spectacular art-nouveau chandelier gives the room an intimate feel in the evenings.

The library offers expansive views over the Villa and surroundings. With day-beds and bucket armchairs, this is the perfect place to quietly read a book or watch a film on the large television and DVD player. A selection of DVDs and books are available.

Although the whole house is Wi-Fi enabled, this peaceful room, looking out through the lush vegetation of the garden, gives busy guests a secluded desk from which to work.
