VILLA MARIA...
...is situated in the countryside of San Agusti village, just a few kilometres from San Jose and San Antonio. It was designed and built over 20 years ago by a famous local artist. It has been fully renovated but still retains a rustic and artistic aesthetic.
As you arrive you see the back of the house...full of fruit trees and vines. Help yourself to oranges ( a bit bitter), lemons (delicious all year round), pomegranates, sweet green figs and apricots...and in April the wild asparagus is delicious.
the front entrance
Villa Maria is made up of 2 buildings, the main house (3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms) and the studio (bedroom suite and bathroom) which was the artists former studio.
the studio from the outside - this fantastic Mimosa was planted when the original owner bought the house - it was her first housewarming gift
the double height hallway with great picture windows
the january evening sun - warm in the day, cool at night
the balcony off the upstairs corridor - this one gets the sunset
the upstairs hall, bedroom 3 to the right bedroom 1 straight ahead.
the sitting room, this sofa is 3.5 metres long - serious relaxation! the wood burner works and heats the house brilliantly in the colder months
the inside dining area - lovely to sit here with the patio doors open...
