Description: This impressive estate just five miles from the coast covers over 250 acres of olive and orange groves. Our side by side cottages are found in a large park of semi-tropical plants and trees. Also part of the manor, 300 yards away, are stables housing over 50 horses, one of which, competed in the Atlanta Olympics. The lucky owner of this domain, an accomplished equestrian, can arrange horseback riding sessions for all skill levels.
The impeccably manicured grounds are truly spectacular with many places to relax. In addition to a furnished patio, a covered, outdoor kitchen is attached to La Quiete's smaller cottage.
With Caltagirone tiles, a barbecue and a wood burning pizza oven, you may never use the inside kitchen.
An in ground pool, 100 yards away, is shared with the owner and his guests. Crossing the estate are miles of hiking and horseback riding trails leading through woods, verdant valleys, an ancient, sandy seabed with fossilized seashells and even prehistoric caves.
Villa La Quiete is furnished in a welcoming country style. Bedroom windows are screened, and the main cottage has a dishwasher. Firewood and winter heating are included in the price. Maid service and meals can be requested when booking.
