Why they chose this property

We named Villa Ilaria after my daughter. Both she and my son Theo have contributed greatly to the ideas in the house. Each painting, ornament, book, toy, furniture or pencil, has a vivid story to go along with it - it holds all of our memories and is very much a home for us, though we are rarely there. There is a magical, serene and calming aura about Villa Ilaria, which I cannot describe, but you will most certainly feel, once you stay there.
We welcome you to our home and hope you are touched by the same magic that has enveloped us.
