About Villa Sola
Villa Sola is our smallest and most exceptional retreat—nestled among ancient olive trees and native plantings. High grasses, rosemary, lavender, and fragrant jasmine create a living envelope around the villa, offering both privacy and natural serenity.
The architecture frames the landscape entirely. For complete relaxation, Villa Sola features a private jacuzzi and sauna. Guests are reached via a private gravel approach, and the villa is fully self-contained—you rarely encounter another soul during your stay.
“A quiet perch for those drawn to the horizon.”
