When the evening sun hits the hills around these villas, you’ll understand why they call it “golden hour”. Glowing gold in the evening and emerald green at the peak of the day, there’s nothing but undulating countryside as far as the eye can see. Well, except for cedars standing sentinel all up the driveway to this old farm. Slip into the swimming pool and cool off from the heat of the day, and dry out on a lounger on the lawn. Outdoor dining is set up for the whole group at the long table beneath the veranda, where the view stretches for miles. Inside, the main house has been transformed into a modern haven, with a few traditional touches. Arched windows let in that stunning view and the wooden ceiling and staircase, plus thick timber beams in the lounge are reminiscent of the old country idyll. The most impressive spot has to be the dining room, where a banquet-length wooden table sits beneath a sleek archway in a statement of minimalism that wouldn’t look out of place in a monastery’s refectory. A smaller villa with its own kitchen houses two bedrooms, and there are three self-contained apartments too. This place is ideal for a big group that all appreciate their own space.
