Adjacent to the villa are two independent flats: one of 120 sqm, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room with a fireplace and a private garden, and the other of 80 sqm, embellished with a loggia and a 25 sqm panoramic terrace, perfect for admiring the landscape.
Outside, the property is distinguished by its large, well-tended garden, enriched by a historic 50-sqm lemon house, used for the winter storage of prized citrus plants.
