Villa Name: Rio Bonito
Villa ID: BZX685
Villa Area: Rotonda Englewood

Peaceful riverfront villa on Gulf Coast - immaculate and well equipped - 4 beds, 4 baths, private heated pool and spa
Location Description
This superbly equipped house is in immaculate condition and very well equipped. It is set in a third of an acre of landscaped gardens and the house accommodates up to eight people very comfortably. There is full air conditioning with ceiling fans in all rooms… and heating for the very rare occasions you might want it. There is a double garage with electronic opener plus driveway parking. The house is within easy reach of several golf courses, beautiful beaches, charming barrier islands, fishing and boating facilities, great restaurants and shopping. Its is within reach of Florida’s many fabulous tourist attractions and airports, but far enough away to offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. Rio Bonito is well suited to adult holidaymakers and less suitable for small children. Sorry but no under-5s for safety reasons. Rotonda is not a soulless holiday development; it is a real community with mainly full-time residents. It is quiet and pretty, with high standards and low levels of crime. Lying half-way between Sarasota and Fort Myers on the beautiful Gulf Coast, Rotonda’s just 90 miles south of Tampa International Airport… about a 90-minute drive down the interstate. The towns and beaches of Englewood, Venice and Port Charlotte are nearby. If you love wildlife, beautiful scenery, clean white beaches, boating, fishing or golf, you will love it here. Wildlife is abundant: Rotonda is a bird sanctuary and you can expect to spot many varieties. Its many miles of waterways – including the river that runs along the bottom of the garden - host alligators, otters, turtles and many fish. You might also spot noctural residents such as raccoons, armadillos and bobcats. It’s peaceful here but, if you fancy visiting somewhere designed for higher-energy thrills, there are plenty of tourist attractions nearby.
