The villa is set in fully enclosed mature gardens with palm trees, oleanders and lavander which are illuminated in the evening with attractive garden lighting. A brand-new 10m x 5m Italian mosaic-tiled private pool has an underwater light for night time swimming and acts as a lovely backlight to the terrace and gardens.

The entire terrace and pool area has superb views across the valley and fruit orchards and the castle ruins can also be viewed in the distance.
*Pool-heating (optional). You cannot beat swimming under the stars in a warm pool! Heated to a constant 30 degrees.
