The Hideaways Club has carried out a comprehensive renovation program ensuring Villa Anatoli is decorated and fitted to the highest standards.

The villa has an open plan kitchen, living, and dining area, and all bedrooms are en-suite. There is plenty to do, as amenities include a tennis court, swimming pool, and a large games room.
