Are you looking for rest and relaxation in Naples/Collier County without getting bored? Then you are in exactly the right place.
Villa Happiness is located in the middle of a 2.2-hectare, completely fenced property. You reach the house through a gate and a long paved driveway lined with palm trees – the dream begins here. At the entrance, two rocking chairs are waiting for you, the perfect spot to enjoy romantic sunsets.
Inside, you can relax in 320 sqm of spacious living space. Since life in Florida mostly takes place outdoors, the villa also offers a very large screened pool area. Here you will find a beautiful brick bar with two comfortable bar stools for enjoying a drink, a cozy sofa corner, and four sun loungers for soaking up the sun. Two large ceiling fans above the outdoor dining area ensure a pleasant breeze. For entertainment, you can also spend some enjoyable hours in the pool room.

The main beaches are:
Naples Pier Beach – The city’s most famous stretch, with its landmark pier. Villas with large gardens line much of the beachfront, giving it a tropical island feel.
Vanderbilt Beach – Walk for kilometers almost undisturbed, while admiring some of Naples’ most exclusive homes.
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park – Located on a peninsula separated from the mainland by mangrove swamps. In spring and summer, sea turtle nests can often be spotted. Facilities include shaded areas, restrooms, changing rooms, and barbecue stations. This beach is particularly recommended!
