The restoration of the Tuscan villa has been carried out to the very highest of standards combining a stunning and unique combination of original features, such as delicate 16th frescos, alongside cutting-edge contemporary design features.

The apartment can be accessed via two separate entrances, the private entrance with spiral staircase leading off the rear courtyard of the villa and via the communal hallway with lift. There is also secure parking for 4 vehicles provided in the underground garage .

The extensive grounds are co-owned with the other residents of the villa with landscaping planned to commence imminently.
