Set just below the adjacent villa (Villa Nostalgia ), never the less Villa Poppy has its own grounds, pool and private parking area. Each villa sits on half an acre of a 1 acre plot that shares a gate and perimeter walls, but that has been split into 2 distinct and private halves. The villa has been positioned in a way that guarantees privacy in a number of different areas by the pool and on the terraces and balconies. The villa has been furnished throughout with matching modern cherry wood furniture. The built in kitchen cabinets and bedroom wardrobes are also made out of this matching wood.

All modern comforts have been provided at Villa Poppy, including satellite TV, DVD and CD players, dishwasher and washing machine, white aluminium doors, windows, and shutters with mosquito screens on all the windows, and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated by either solar panel or a back-up immersion heater. The design of the villa has been carefully thought out in order to bring your living area into the outdoors, so that you can fully appreciate the outstanding views at all times.
