This wonderful authentic property will impress you with its charming and nostalgic feel, and is composed of the main villa (600 m²) with 6 bedrooms and a separate guesthouse with two apartments (80 m² each). Entering the main villa on the ground floor you’ll find a cozy living room opening up on the outside terrace, toilet, and the spacious kitchen.

The independent guesthouse can be rented optional and composed of two more basic apartments – one on the ground floor and one on the first floor – with each a living area with kitchenette and sofa, bedroom and bathroom.

The magnificent terraced garden (1,5 acres) is one of a kind, being divided into four parts (Italian, English, French and Japanese) and featuring unique Peonies, Azelias, Cammelias, and valuable trees, including Japanese maples, cedars, chestnuts and a spectacular Canphora tree. Descending the garden guests can reach the swimming pool and surrounding deck with sun loungers and relax chairs, and a shower to cool off during the hotter days.
