At first glance, you may mistake this home for an Italian palace rather than a holiday villa. From the outside it appears grand and majestic, with regal columns, intricate tiling and ornate fences – and the inside is just as elegant, with unique glossy floors, opulent wallpaper and divine soft furnishings. Step downstairs and you'll be blown away by the indoor pool and spa, with painted ceilings that remind us of Renaissance art, together with starry lighting and gorgeous mosaics, creating a blissful place to relax. There are some lush outdoor spots here too where you can enjoy the Italian sunshine, and the beach is just a short drive away for when you fancy sea-swimming and sunbathing.
