ideal for playing football or volleyball, and lined fruit trees offer cherries,
pears, apples, plums, chestnuts and figs when in season.
There is plenty of
space for everyone to find his own little corner where to simply sit to read a
book or enjoy the views and see the swallows hover over the swimming pool at
dusk.
