Q.

Why Rotonda and why your villa?

 

A.

 

The area is often called Florida's best kept secret because it has all the attractions of the gulf - stunning beaches, great weather, many first class golf courses, good shopping and restaurants - without the crowds that are found in the more well known areas. Have a look at the Attractions section of our website for more details.

  • Our villa is larger than average - 2400 square feet of living space. There are two lounges, a formal dining room and an informal dining area

  • The building has many upgrades and extras

  • Outstanding, private views - we are not overlooked by other properties and we think the views from our home are among the best in Rotonda.

  • Views of the magnificent Florida sunsets from the lanai

  • Water & golf course views

  • Heated pool - both solar and electric

All in all, we think the villa provides all the ingredients for a fantastic holiday.
