Particular attention has been given to thermal insulation, with the installation of an external insulation system of approximately 12 cm on the perimeter walls and terraces, and approximately 6 cm on pillars, balconies and external staircases. This solution contributes to improved energy efficiency and enhanced living comfort, including during the winter months.

Villa Poseidon is set within a private plot of approximately 1,137 sq m, including the footprint of the buildings, thoughtfully arranged with terraced areas, paved spaces and an ornamental garden designed to enhance the panoramic position and open sea views.

The landscaped areas are enriched with Mediterranean plants, ornamental species, cacti and mature trees.
