How “Villa Esmeralda” got it’s name:
We name each of our properties based on the character of the property. This property is surrounded subtropical plants and foliage. Early one morning we were sitting on the terrace. A short rain shower had just passed through the area, and all around us emerald-colored water drops glistened as they fell off the leaves. It was a moment of magic, and the name stuck.
