In a commanding position on a double plot (1,936m2), a highlight of this villa is the sheltered inner courtyard, which, together with permeability of the living spaces, gives the villa a tremendous feeling of space and light. Arches lead from the hallway to the large eat-in kitchen and open-plan dining area, with arches also leading to the spacious main living area.

Sets of patio doors from the living and dining areas lead out to a sheltered, partly shaded, southerly terrace surrounded by lush, mature Mediterranean landscaping, perfect for al fresco dining. Steps to either side of this terrace lead down to the pool terrace and large, heated pool, all affording total privacy within the gated garden, yet with spectacular, uninterrupted views across the Burgau valley to the coastal hills. Set in the garden is a delightful open-sided timber pavilion.

Over the living area, accessed by a concealed stairway, is a gallery with access to two southerly roof terraces, oriented to enjoy the sun at different times of day. Accommodation includes four double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, and a third shower room serving bedrooms 3 and 4. This is an idyllic location for a luxury holiday.

The villa accommodation, internal courtyard and partly-shaded external terrace are all on one level. The pool terrace and pool are at a lower level accessed from the house level by means of three steps to either side of the upper terrace. Access to the gallery and the two roof terraces is via a concealed stairway from the main living area.

"This villa was excellent and the location was very good along with a fabulous view from the villa. The housekeeping services were good and it was nice to have the bathrooms cleaned as well as clean towels when we needed them. We had a great time here."

Sue & Richard, Tunbridge Wells
