erogappaDionysus's villa is a beautiful marble and stucco castle perched on a low, perpetually sunny hillside. Outside it's gleaming white, easily visible against the tan and sage surrounding hills. Inside, it's far more luxurious than its current owner is comfortable with. All the floor are cool tile, frequently laid out in mosaics featuring grapevines and wild animals. There are several bedrooms and slightly fewer bathrooms (with marble tubs and columns. So many columns). The dining hall seats at least fifty, with the option either of a vast table or individual couches. The tiny courtyard features a pair of olive trees that are always fruiting, and everywhere the house is designed to channel cool breezes through the lofting hallways.
Downstairs is mostly "business", that is, big dining and meeting rooms, a small winery in the big room in the far back, a gymnasium (with weights and a space set aside for wrestling/sparring), the kitchen. Upstairs are the bedrooms, most of which have their own balconies.

(The edge of this fountain has been chipped off, and there's an old rust-stained bathtub stuck underneath it, so there's a constant tub full of holy water. The excess just drains off the sides and into the sand below)
