Description
On the low hilltop, fringed by bushes of lavender and hellebore, a stucco villa that looks like a part of the landscape. The red clay tile roofs appear especially bright in the noon sun, and large columns make for corridors of cool air. In the centre, hidden from view, a sapphire-blue pool of springwater, seeming to glow as its reflection spills on to the surrounding walls. The summer doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore.
