In 1998 it was bought by a well-known apulian architect who has transformed the place with a mix of ancient and modern architecture. The owner has since defined the building as: house, studio, a place to think, retreat, and guest house for passing friends. The property is completely surrounded by a high, centuries-old dry-stone wall, and beyond the grounds of the property you can see the whole of the countryside, stretching out into the distance with various types of agriculture, but mostly vineyards. The church next to the house is still in use, and they celebrate mass there on feast days, or when there are weddings. In a corner of the garden lies the swimming-pool (5 x 23 m), which is completely enclosed by its own dry-stone wall. The view from the rooms of the house is wonderful. This is definitely the sort of place where you can pass a completely tranquil holiday, not far from interesting cultural and historical sights. On the first floor is the old bishop's apartment lying around the central patio, and has large terraces on the south side, and in one corner a large flight of steps leads to the courtyard which accesses the church with its 17th century ceramic floor. ]]></description>

An ancient house originally belonging to the noble family of Sernigi, who were rich merchants and patrons of the great artists of the 1400’s, it later passed into the hands of the family Naldini del Riccio when, during the 18th century, it was left to degenerate into an ordinary farmhouse. At the end of the 1950’s the house was bought by the Corti Family who restored it to is original splendour. The villa lies in the 1,000 year old hamlet of Palazzuolo and is surrounded by a park with olive trees, roses and Mediterranean plants. It has a large swimming pool and courtyards which are ideal for relaxing outside in fine weather. ]]></description>

The place is absolutely ideal for the ecotourism and outdoor activities because:   It is located between two mountains, which are offered for specific forms of tourism (Psiloritis and Lasithiotika Mounts).  The approach to the north and south coastline of Crete for daily excursions and tours is excellent.  It has a lovely view oner North, East and West due to the height (480m.).  The Villa is surrounded by crops of vineyards with naming origin.  Nearby the Villa are found archeological places (Knossos, Archanes, Vathipetro and Giouchtas), monasteries (Agarathos, Spiliotissa and St. George Epanosifis) and Byzantine castles.  It is close to traditional settlements and settlements with traditional architecture, such as Archanes, restaurants and museums of Secular Art.

In the guests’ house traditional breakfast is served, while the midday meal or the supper will be ordered a day before to the cook of the Cottage. The ingredients, which are used for the preparation, come from the Cottage’s garden of from local companies and associations. The guests (if they wish) have the chance to participate in the preparation, guests have the chance to familiarize with the Cretan cuisine.  The substructures of the guest’ house, its facilities, the equipment and the stuff above all, offer high quality services to the guests, who will enjoy their holidays in a peaceful, picturesque and traditional environment, which combines the modern comforts of a holiday resort with the simplicity, the warmth and the family character of Cretan hospitality.

Situated on the brink of the Caldera on the island of Santorini with uninterrupted views, the property is one of the most exclusive private villas on offer. Carved into the rock, into elegantly designed suites we have decorated Strass in the traditional Cycladic style with a blend of antique furniture and modern comforts. 
The Residences are situated at Firostefani in a private area considered by many as the most exclusive setting on the island. Purched on a cliff above the Caldera these stark-white accomodations were designed to absorb the stunning view of the volcano and Aegean Sea.
Firsostefani, lies between the villages of Fira and Imerovigli and combines a strong sense of natural beauty, traditional architecture as well as a calm and peaceful surrounding.
The property is unique in the sense that it enjoys unobstructed access to the Caldera and the openess of the Aegean sea while retaining its privacy. You will find supermarkets, car rentals, coffee shops and restaurants only a short walk from the residences.
A place for those who like to enjoy the finest things in life. ]]></description>

nestled in a Phu Thai Village and the villagers just love visitors to their part of the world.

The gardens are just beautiful and the animals endless.Ducks, Peacocks, Pheasants, Burmese Chickens, our very own lazy St Bernard and of course our monkeys, Darwin and Guido.

bike Hire, Landscaped Gardens, Beauty Saloon and 24 hour service.  We also offer a selection of unusual tours that include Mukdahan and Mekong River, Temple Tours, Forest foraging, cultural shows and cooking lessons. We try hard to be environmentally friendly. We use only organically grown vegetables, herbs and rice. Mos t herbs are from our gardens here and create a wonderful landscape.

They generate an ultimate atmosphere not easily found elsewhere, combining refined Oriental ambience with Western comfort. The spacious open living rooms, fully fitted kitchens, two en suite bathrooms, bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and stunning décor, make a home easy and comfortable to live in. Stylishly landscaped gardens, water features, plants and lakes are entirely different from the usual Thai standard.
The only way to truly appreciate the value and beauty of 'Villa STR3 is to visit and view the properties with your own eyes. You can then experience the beauty and tranquility of the homes and their location first hand.

The property consists in a villa sizing 300 sq. mt and a land of 14 hectaras (Olive grove and wood). The surroundings are particularly beautiful and panoramic, and it is unusual in Chianti to have a view over a valley without a single house roof in sight, and the natural scenery seems to go on forever down into the valley below. The high level of comfort is particularly enhanced by the absolute privacy that you can find here both inside and outside of the villa. The area between Castellina in Chianti and Radda is one of the most typical of the Chianti Classico area, and besides the many vineyards producing excellent red wines, there are also good local restaurants and attractive medieval villages. Florence is 42 kms away, and Siena 25 kms. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<img src='http://www.exploranda.com//thumbnail.aspx?image=/public/files/0467/foto/183_lejas-02.jpg&w=100&h=100'alt='picture' style='margin: 5px 5px 0px 0px; float: left; border: #c0c0c0 1px solid;' /> From its modest past as a sheep fold to the sumptuous private residence that it is today, this building has maintained its remote origins in the pure lines and stone walls and its restoration has preserved its authenticity. The undisputed taste of the owners for a slightly Anglosaxon style of interior decoration but with colours and details of Provençal tradition together offer a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Extremely well furnished.
