The HOA maintains the yards (unless you add your own plants) and covers the cost of basic cable and internet. Gran Paradiso is the only community that allows villas to have pools installed as the Gran Paradiso villa lots are larger than other communities. The lanai faces east so you can enjoy your cup of coffee or tea as you watch the sun rise. At night you can see reflecting lights on the water from the villas across the pond. You can walk, bike, or take your golf cart to the Club House and amenity center. The Club House offers a computer/reading room, conference room and grand lobby. The wing of the amenity center offers a craft/meeting room and gaming room offering card tables, billiards, and TVs.
