Indulge in a glass of wine and nibbles, gazing at the sunset from your elevated deck that looks over the hills and vineyard. Then, unwind in the double spa bath while looking out the picture window at stunning moonlit views. As night falls, curl up on the leather couch together next to the crackling gas log fire.
Featuring the same inclusions as the Villa Mica, the Villa Tor invites you to kick back and relax together. Wake up to views of the vineyard, Gorge, and Beechworth town. Enjoy lazy afternoons snuggled up on a plush armchair with a good book, and enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset.
For the most luxurious experience, splurge on the Villa Granito. In addition to the divine amenities featured in the other two villas, the Villa Granito also includes a solar-heated private plunge pool and sun-lounge deck in your very own private garden.
Each villa also houses a self-contained kitchen, so you can comfortably cook up a storm if you’re in the mood for a night in.
