This area has direct access to the large panoramic patio outside, including an outdoor shower, a barbecue, a wood oven and an independent garden , for pleasant evenings with great views from all levels of the villa (even from the guests-only parking space below).

Here is also a second bathroom with shower. On the same level, a panoramic pool will allow a complete feeling of relaxation with the surrounding nature; there is also a second outdoor shower, a comfortable shaded area with pool chaise lounges and a large space behind the pool with an additional barbecue. Everywhere the energy and the intensity of the Mediterranean and a sense of peace and quiet.
