Italianate gardens lay to the front of the villa, and to the rear a
pretty walled garden with manicured lawns provides a peaceful setting
for the delightful swimming pool and sun-lounge.

outdoor dining, overlooking the camellia garden. Tables, chairs and
umbrellas are available for dining on the spacious grounds.

details on the walls and ceilings.
