cypress trees and adorned with vineyards, olive groves, and large
forests of oaks, giving shade from the heat of the summer, the woods
have trails and road for walks, mountain biking and horseback riding.
Our 370 Acres of fenced land is inhabited by wild animals:
Deer, wild goats, porcupines, wild boar, hedge hogs, fox, hares,
squirrels.

The climate is mild, except in July and August when the sun is very
strong and hot.
