Attractions

Florida with the greatest number of family orientated attractions in the world, is a magnet for people of all ages and welcomes people from all four corners of the globe. Although located in a quiet estate, the villa is ideally located for access to all of Orlando’s attractions, with the Disney main gate less than 10 minutes away.
The natural beauty of Orlando is sometimes overlooked in place of the man made attractions, and although the face of the Orlando landscape has changed dramatically over recent years, the original wetlands, lakes and wildlife are still close at hand. Only several miles North of the villa is Lake Louise which offers easy walking routes, and the chance to see some of Orlando’s native animals and birds at close hand.

Several miles further North is Clermont, a small town surrounded by a large lake and again home to many of Orlando’s natural wildlife.

The East coast of Florida is where you will find Cocoa and Daytona beaches, which offer endless miles of sandy beaches with some of the best surf available in the state of Florida. On the other coast, the beaches are even more attractive and with some of the most attractive coastal towns and resorts in the area. Only several hours drive South, the Florida wetlands provides the opportunity to see the Florida of old, with miles upon miles of unspoilt scenery and the opportunity to see native wildlife in their home environment. Guided tours across these wetlands are available, making this an ideal opportunity to see Florida wildlife in their home environment.

At the bottom end of Florida is the world renowned Florida Keys, again showing the natural beauty of Florida and only a few short hours drive away.
