From the minute you enter the front door you know that Villa del Sur has that something, from the living room into the private walled patio through sliding glass doors, comes ith suddenness the feeling of being outside while still being in the living room. From every angle you will find the living area a fascinating place to entertain or just plain relax. Completely furnished thru-out, (except linen, kitchen ware, etc.) with cheerful, light colored furniture, that is easy to keep clean. With one bath, kitchen and dining living room area downstairs plus a large storage area for those trunks, suitcases and miscellaneous items.
