Luxury Villas in Ibiza for Sale
Your Dream Villa
For sure it is a beautifully designed home with
many impressive and unique attributes. It should embody the
inside/outside living style of the Caribbean with its own tropical
lush gardens filled with palm trees, hibiscus and wild orchids -- in
addition, a private water front dock, with steps to the sea, surrounded
by powder white beach sand. The villa has three to five master bedrooms
and one or two junior bedrooms, all with facilites en suite. There are
two spectacular swimming pools--one on grade made of stone, one elevated
and secluded. All master bedrooms have spectacular views of the Caribbean
Sea--as do the living areas, outside verandas and master kitchen. In
addition, the property has its own tennis court and stand alone car
garage, wherby the entire estate is built on minimum one acre of land,
all enclosed by beautiful stone walls.
This is a dream - isn't it? Villas
A villa was originally a Roman country house built for the upper
class. According to Pliny the Elder, there were two kinds of villas, the villa
urbana, which was a country seat that could easily be reached from Rome (or another
city) for a night or two, and the villa rustica, the farm-house estate, permanently
occupied by the servants who had charge generally of the estate, which would center
on the villa itself, perhaps only seasonally occupied. There were a concentration
of Imperial villas near the Bay of Naples, especially on the Isle of Capri, at
Monte Circeo on the coast and at Antium (Anzio). Wealthy Romans escaped the summer
heat in the hills round Rome, especially around Frascati (cf Hadrian's Villa).
Cicero is said to have possessed no fewer than seven villas, the oldest of which
was near Arpinum, which he inherited. Pliny the Younger had three or four, of which
the example near Laurentium is the best known from his descriptions.
Renaissance villas
In 14th and 15th century Italy, a 'villa' once more connoted a country house,
sometimes the family seat of power like Villa Caprarola, more often designed for
seasonal pleasure, usually located within easy distance of a city. The first
examples of Renaissance Villa dates back to the age of Lorenzo de' Medici, and
they are mostly located in the Italian region of Tuscany (the "Medici villas") such
as the Villa di Poggio a Caiano by Giuliano da Sangallo (begun in 1470) or the
Villa Medici in Fiesole (since 1450), probably the first villa created under the
instructions of Leon Battista Alberti, who theorized in his De re aedificatoria
the features of the new idea of villa. From Tuscany the idea of villa was spread
again through Italy and Europe.
