The Historical Roots of Elite Villa Living

The term villa originated in ancient Rome to describe an upper-class country home. This elusive term has evolved over time and is used to describe very different types of homes throughout the world.

Most of these neighborhoods are governed by homeowner’s associations that charge maintenance fees and require residents to follow the rules and regulations enforced by the association’s board of directors.
