“My imagination couldn’t have been so bold to anticipate the wonderful mini paradise waiting for us behind front door.
Opening the door, we meet a bright and welcoming view of blue sky and pool heaven against a backdrop of countryside views. These are beautifully projected through terrace doors beyond. The picture was so alive I felt like it was dancing. The villa feels bright, airy and crisp with fresh colours of marble combined with stylish modern furnishings. Careful thought has been put into the design to create a finish of complementary detail. A bold impression.
There is all you need to stay home all day and lock the front door! A spacious living area with modern dining table and a complimentary breakfast bar island that looks like the studio on “Saturday Kitchen”. The private pool with jacuzzi, spacious terrace and BBQ, make the essential BBQ an everyday invite and attraction.
And those views! You have the luxury of these on 3 levels from the ground rising to the top roof terrace. Chilling here with a bottle of wine, gazing lazily across the island is my idea of BIG temptation.
In fact, by now, I have locked the front door and thrown away the key!
If you want “plenty bangs for your buck”- come and enjoy these fabulous “bangs” at Erika.
P.S. It’s perfect for winter too, with an inbuilt log burner to make a cosy escape”. Jules
