Villa Egerton.
We girls are thinking of taking a holiday.
One possibility is Villa Egerton.
This property has three housekeepers, a butler, a chef and a chauffeur.
Not as many staff as we are used to, but we'll manage.

It has seven bedrooms and five-acres of gardens.
Well, we girls can share rooms.

General De Gaulle, Konrad Adenauer, Greta Garbo, Coco Chanel, Scott Fitzgerald, Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemmingway, Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, Anthony Eden, the Duke of Windsor, French president René Coty, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, Aristotle Onassis, Noel Coward and Somerset Maughan.
What's good enough for them, is good enough for us.
