Villa Yasemia's living room has the tall ceilings and open trusses characteristic of the island's construction. It has open views on three sides and a stone fireplace as the focus of the fourth.

The kitchen, which is fully fitted with custom built cabinets, granite worktops and stainless steel appliances, opens to the dining room and to the covered barbeque area through a pass-through window. The dining room extends the volume of the kitchen northward and opens on three sides; one to the pool courtyard, one to the covered barbeque area and the third straight out to the sea.

As the villa hugs the contours of the hill, the three bedrooms gain wonderful light and views from the south, north and east. Completely separate from the rest of the villa, they each have an en-suite bathroom and ample closets. French doors lead to a sweeping stone deck with enough room for a meal or lounging in the sun. Fragrant and colourful local flowers grow in planters made of local, rough-hewn stone.

The master bedroom is on the upper floor for privacy and to take advantage of the view. A private exterior sitting area covers the barbeque area below and provides an outside breakfast table. The master bathroom has six fixtures including a large glass shower, a generous tub with a lowered window for the view, two sinks and an enclosed WC.

The L-shape of the house combined with a shift of the veranda roof northward creates a loose courtyard for the pool. Villa Yasemia has three levels of the exterior area which mimic in scale the three storeys of the house; the main level holds the pool deck and primary outdoor living space under a covered veranda; the lower floor has a gently curved, semi-private veranda with ample space for informal meals and seating; and the top floor incorporates a small breakfast table exclusive to the master suite.

Central heating and hot water are powered by natural gas. All bedrooms are air conditioned. The house comes complete with a clothes washer and drier and the gardens with an irrigation system.

This development offers a rare opportunity to buy an exclusive property, designed and fitted to the highest standards, in an exclusive location.
