Surrounded by an elegant Italian garden and a picturesque private park filled with centuries-old trees, the property enjoys an exceptional position just steps from the charming harbour
The villa’s outdoor spaces are designed for effortless luxury and relaxation. A generous terrace offers cool shade during warm summer afternoons, while the elegant portico provides the perfect setting for refined al fresco dining. The manicured garden features a stunning heated swimming pool finished with Serizzo granite and shimmering mosaic tiles, complemented by sun loungers and parasols for ultimate comfort. Beneath a majestic camphor tree, a romantic outdoor dining area invites long, leisurely gatherings. The formal Italian Garden adorned with rose-covered trellises, graceful gravel paths, and a charming gazebo evokes classic Mediterranean elegance, enhanced by fragrant citrus trees and graceful palms. Private parking for three cars is also available.
Inside, Villa Leoni reveals interiors of remarkable character and style. On the ground floor, the main entrance opens onto the portico and leads to a series of beautifully designed living spaces including the kitchen, dining room, winter garden, and grand living room. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features premium appliances such as an induction cooker, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine.
