What we love about this place:

Grand is the watchword at this stunning 12 Bedroom and Bathroom Villa. At the back of the home, a Roman-style swimming pool invites you to take a cooling dip and a shaded terrace covers a full outdoor kitchen with a grill and wood-fired oven, surrounded by olive groves. The lounge and dining room is a world of wood-paneled walls and archways, oil painting and marble busts, with a huge stone fireplace taking center stage. Smaller rooms are no less ornate, like the library with its hand-painted accents and the family room with its wrought-iron chandelier. There are two kitchens, fully equipped for self-catering, but if you really want to take it easy your host can arrange for lunches and dinners to be served too, as an added extra. There is a original stone fireplace in the grand lounge, where you can take your nightcap sit back and relax.
