Villa
Mexican general's surname
A villa is a large, elegant house, typically in the countryside or a resort area, often with substantial grounds.
The term originally referred to Roman country estates but now applies broadly to upscale vacation homes or luxurious residences in warm climates.
They rented a villa in Tuscany for the summer.
In some regions, villa also describes a detached suburban house, though usually one with more character than a standard tract home.
