Accessibility

Have had three previous clients using wheelchairs/scooters although they were not too badly disabled, i.e. able to stand and walk a little with assistance. Plenty of space downstairs to maneuver and easy to the end of villa path. From there to the top of the drive is graveled approx 50m which, in a wheelchair is a little more difficult to push, although it is pretty level. The rest of the drive to the road is cobbled.

An array of various fruit trees line the drive to Villa Pinhal with two sets of gates. Car Parking for several cars. Grassed area to front and side of villa.

Large barbeque/barbecue area outside.
