The villa was a dollhouse for his granddaughter's game, then became the residence of that when he grew up.
It is a building of exoticism, where the different elements that make up the set, create an atmosphere of pre-modernist fantasy that also has an underground tunnel that will connect you to the main dwelling much simpler style and now totally destroyed, to the right of the property.
And the garden surrounding the villa, large and abundant vegetation, banks had chopped very colorful tiles, probably added after the main building.
