The Villa M is nestled on a hill with impressive mountain views. It has a stone walkway and gable peaks that mimic the surrounding landscape.
The villa consists of two levels. The first floor is occupied by the outdoor living bordered by huge columns. A sunny deck with a straight staircase leads to the upper level.
Inside, a minimalist design graces the interior. Stark white walls are mirrored on the ceilings. Wooden elements found on the hardwood flooring and furnishings soften the sleek design. It is further enhanced with multicolored seats that are accentuated with red and patterned pillows.
