Spread out over a massive 4 floors, Villa Camilla consists of a whopping 10 bedrooms to perfectly accommodate a large group of 20 guests. The villa’s indoors convey plush beauty as reflected in the mosaic flooring, wooden staircases, 18th century frescoes and statues as well as some of the finest paintings dating back to the 1800s.

The luxurious outdoors are also translated into its gorgeous indoors of singular beauty, featuring sleek wooden furniture against contemporary design and build.
