Privacy The house is surrounded by 28 acres of private property and groups can meet without concern that noise will bother neighbors (such as can happen when renting multiple villas or hotel rooms). Space There is plenty of room for groups to meet without being overcrowded (such as happens when gathering in a single villa or hotel room) and renters have the benefit of two nearby common areas. With families, kids can play in one area while parents meet in the other. With wedding groups, singles can meet in one area while couples meet in the other.
