The painted or frescoed coffered ceilings, whitewashed beams, antique terracotta floors and fine parquet flooring contribute to creating a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere throughout the house.

The private garden, with attention to every detail, covers an area of approximately 3,800 sqm. The part adjacent to the villa is structured according to the canons of the Italian garden, with paths and geometric hedges leading to vast lawns dotted with centuries-old olive trees.
