Today we take all our readers on a trip to South Africa. We're going to a place called KwaZulu-Natal to see the extraordinary design of the Aloe Ridge House Villa. This inimitable house is literally buried in the green of trees and flowers.






Step out onto the patio when you want to sunbathe or poolside refreshment. Its décor is laconic, but not without a "zest". The dark planks used for the flooring seem to invite us onto the deck of the yacht to relax on the cushioned sofas or have a glass of fresh juice at the bar.


Thoughtful evening lighting adds a mysterious, romantic touch to the home.
