When they bloom in the spring, the landscape is striking with the pale pink hues the almond trees take on. Later, the scent of wild thyme fills the air, and you can hear the bees busily gathering nectar. When summer is in full swing, the landscape changes, becoming more arid and dry. The wild spring plants have all but disappeared; this is when Mother Nature offers her little gifts: delicious fresh almonds that you can enjoy right next to the tree after cracking the shell with a large mountain stone.<br><br>The villa is secluded: there are no passersby, nor any neighboring houses directly across the way, which is ideal for anyone interested in naturism.<br><br>The setting is exceptional because the environment is very healthy: no air, noise, or light pollution. <br>Astronomy enthusiasts will be delighted once night falls: observing the Milky Way is a true pleasure. <br>There is a profound sense of serenity here that allows you to rest and recharge, but also to take the time to observe,
