 Villa Antonio, the large house and Hunter's Lodge, the single storey house as it was in the summer of 2011 and still under development. The Pool House / Folly can be seen in the background.  Plan of proposed external layout Click here to see enlarged copy  The Undergound Garage. The garage / workshop is approx. 11m x 5.5m and serves two purposes ~ as a garage / workshop and an enormous sun terrace as the roof level is also ground level to the garden. Railings with lighting will be fitted to three sides to secure the terrace and there is an ancient Mulberry tree which provides dappled shade to nearly half the area throughout the summer. The pool house / folly was rebuilt using the original stone and Italian clay roof tiles. It will incorporate a wetroom (shower, toilet and hand basin) and there is a store room for sunbeds, outdoor furniture etc. The 'open' side will include low level seating all round and wall lights. A chimney has been installed to accommodate an open fire or stove  Pool House / Folly with Hunter's Lodge background  Views from the House ~ Winter Scenes   Views from the House ~ Summer Scenes  |
Hunter's Lodge is a single storey, 1 bedroom new build property, fully completed internally and furnished.  An old block and concrete garage was razed to the ground to build this beautiful, unique property. It has an 'old chapel' quality about it because of the exceptional height of the open roof internally with exposed 'A' frames and beams. The additional height of the walls has allowed us to install a second row of higher windows the length of the building with an oval window at both ends built into the apex. With a further 2 large arched windows serving the bedroom, the house is flooded with light, an unusual characteristic of Italian properties.
