Villa Winter is surrounded by mysterious stories, fueled in part by its very remote location. Villa Winter was built in 1937 by German engineer and Colonel Gustav Winter, Nazi spy and confidant of Adolf Hitler. The strategic location of the villa is associated with the fact that it was used for secret military operations and as a provisioning station for German submarines. A beachfront cemetery near the villa also continues to lead to speculation in this regard.
