La Dolce Villa is a perfect spring / summer getaway for friends or family. The house is located on the corner of a quiet private street: a beautiful garden surrounds the property with the scents of typical Mediterranean trees and herbs (Fig, Rosemary. Bougainvillea). There is a beautiful large patio where you can spend time relaxing, dining, chilling out on comfortable couches and lounge chairs or just having fun: a wonderful old dining table can host comfortably 10 people for breakfast, dinner or lunch. This nice table is situated outside, with easy access from the kitchen. There is also a professional barbecue place where you can test you grilling skills.
We have to say that the real "unique star" of the outdoor area is a professional Italian wood stove to cook (and eat). If needed, we can put you in contact with a professional Pizzaiolo (Pizza Chef) who will cook all your favorite hand-made traditional pizzas, right in front of you ... in your villa with your friends and family. Not just "eating Italian" yet "fully experiencing the Italian classic food in a typical Mediterranean beach house.
The house is very entertaining, great for fun or quiet relaxation on a very private backyard. Great for families or friends vacationing together.
The restoration of the building was just completed. The whole villa has been beautifully renovated to make it even more comfortable, charming and suitable to all your needs.
