Adorned with artworks and furnished with classic style, the villa spans five bedrooms, expansive living areas and dining rooms. Outside, the garden is set up for relaxation and dining with a swimming pool and a scenic sea view backdrop. Convenient and picturesque, the villa is just 500 metres from local services and a short drive from the beaches of Lacona and Biodola, as well as Portoferraio's harbour and historic centre.
