The garden all around is enriched by a varied assortment of herbs and colourful flowers with heady scents, such as roses, oleanders, irises, gladiolas, and invites guests to spend their days outdoors and to admire the enchanting spectacle of nature which, with its cycles, fills the surrounding countryside with shimmering colours and tones. The porch, easily accessible from the kitchen, is furnished with table and chairs for outdoor dining. A second portico, adorned with wisteria plants and furnished with armchairs and coffee table, at the side of the sitting room provides a pleasant area to sit and relax looking out over the magnificent view of the peaceful countryside. Finally, in the pool area, a pergola furnished with table and chairs and barbecue, is the ideal spot for delicious alfresco grills.
