OWNER INSIGHT

"For nearly 30 years, Flat 10 Villa Paradiso has been my 'second home', a perfect, peaceful, pleasurable, secure place. Set apart from the main house, it has been close enough to enjoy the friendship of my neighbours. Being a teacher gave me the opportunity to spend a lot of time there, to enjoy the ambience. On many occasions my four very small grandchildren accompanied me. They loved it and learned to swim in the pool. From the lounge, Flat 10 faces beautiful grounds and a medium to large sized swimming pool, a feast of a view. I have always found it very welcoming and tranquil, an absolute joy!"
