Owner Insight

"The whole family have fond memories of Flat 3 Villa Paradiso and it has been a difficult decision to part with it. For 28 years it has been a welcoming ‘home from home’ with its cosy environment and views of the pool and sea beyond. The patio doors opening onto the terrace has also provided a welcome area of space in which to sit, read a book and sunbathe.

The flat has been updated with a new kitchen and bathroom and re-carpeted throughout. It would make a lovely home for a new owner."
