The last 4 photos are of a house that sits on top of the hill that is Ana Mandara. It is not part of the hotel or the restoration but it is a beautiful example of the period French Villa.

Small breezeway at the west end of the pool. On one side is a rest room. On the other is a small room whose purpose I do not know. |

The pool is stone and the steps down into it are also a beautiful stone stairs. |

This is the gate to a house that sits on the top of the hill that is Ana Mandara. It is not part of the hotel or the restoration. I would like to know who lives there. |
