    Description

    We are a French/Colombian couple in love with the Mexican Caribbean and particularly with Mahahual. We have finished the construction of a Villa in front of the sea and now we are dedicated to its interior decoration as well as its gardens.

    We want to make the villa an exceptional place with its gardens, interior/exterior decoration and make guests feel surprised by its beauty.

    Many DIY projects to do and all decoration and landscaping ideas will be heard. If you have artistic skills they are welcome
