June 2011

I took two days out at the beginning of June to visit the villa to see how the additional landscaping work that we had scheduled looked.

Paolo had already shared some pictures with us but I needed to see it first hand. I also had some jobs to do including clearing some items from the property but also cleaning the villa and pool.

Disappointed I was not!

This is the first view you get from the bottom of our track.

What has been finished?

Railings and a gate now enclose fully the pool area.

All the irrigation is complete and the turf laid.

Eighty or so plants typical of the region including lavender, rosemary and myrtle cover the slope.

We have two bougainvillea that you can just see in the picture above on the wall to the left.

Stepping stones have been laid to protect the grass.

There are steps to the pool house and the pool house is complete with a hinged roof allowing access to the pump and filter plus space to store the equipment and chemicals.

Here is another picture from the other end of the garden.

And another one showing the pool area.

Pleased...
