It doesn't get any better than this. A spacious, luxurious apartment equipped with everything you could possibly need. A large terrace with a fantastic view of the lagoon. And all of this nestled within a paradisiacal, beautifully maintained garden. Kudos to the charming hostess for this exceptionally lovely gem.
