Vigna Maggiore

An introduction to Vigna Maggiore

If undisturbed peace and photogenic views top your wish list, book one of these beautiful villas. Looking out over the Valinco Gulf, they couldn't sit in a more tranquil spot. Away from it all, Villa Doniche, Vigna Maggiore and Villa A Murta are bordered by endless countryside, so the scenery gets top marks. They look out over the twinkling Med, too, which is just a ten-minute drive away. And this is also where you'll find the nearest shops, bars and restaurants. So you're not too far off the beaten track. Just far enough to surround yourself in the sound of silence.

All designed and built by Monsieur Andreucci to an impressive standard, each villa is completely secluded. With pretty gardens and those wide-open views, there's no-one to disturb you here. Whichever one you opt for, they've all got plenty of outdoor space. Think patios furnished with cushioned sun loungers, covered terraces with teak dining tables and lawns for little ones to play on. The center piece at all three, though, is the private swimming pool. Sunk into a decking area or block-paved patio, each one is a good size and looks right out over the scenery.

Inside, the villas have been just as carefully thought out. All with an almost identical, open-plan layout, the decor throughout is crisp white and vanilla cream, with sleek tiled flooring. And the furnishings are an effortless mix of contemporary and traditional styles. For example, one has trendy rattan sofas with red cushions sitting alongside a polished chunky wood dining table, while another comes with funky wicker chairs and a rustic TV cabinet.

There's plenty of space to dine and relax in the living areas. All have comfy sofas, dining tables and satellite TV's. Plus they open out on to a large covered terrace so you can eat al fresco. And cooking meals is a doddle with fully-fitted kitchens that have extras like microwaves, dishwashers and washing machines. You'll also find two restful bedrooms in each, one of which is a double. Whether you're a family or a small group of friends, these charming retreats are the perfect escape.
