One enters the villa through a grand hallway with a view of the inner courtyard and the magnificent frangipani trees.  The drawing room with high ceilings is well appointed with deep sofas and seating alcoves under ceiling-high original teakwood windows which open onto the gallery.  The outside gallery is enclosed by door-high louvers which allow views of the bustling street whilst preserving the privacy of the villa within. 

The drawing room evokes a feeling of minimalist grandeur and an ideal place to relax with a book during the day and hear the world pass by or have evening drinks in the soft copper lighting and appreciate the quiet of the dusk.
