CLIMATE AND CLOTHING
It will be September, and we hope the weather will still be warm. However, as the villa is surrounded by greenery, do bear in mind that it might get a little cooler in the evening.
A tip for the ladies: weather permitting, the drinks reception and dancing will take place in the villa’s garden, where the ground is either grass or gravel — something worth keeping in mind when choosing your heels! (We’ll provide heel protectors)
