Real Estate
Italian term or phrase: custodito
Can anyone help me with the word "custodito" in the context of this description of a property for sale in Sardinia: "La proprietà è armoniosamente inserita nel contesto residenziale privato e **custodito** di un Parco Residenziale". Thanks, Sarah.

Explanation:
If you have alarms and/or armed personnelthen this is OK. Of course if it is just a portinaio/caretaker, then with "caretaker", but I doubt it.

I agree with potra, this sounds best in the context and I'm quite sure it's actually what they mean. Thanks to everyone, Sarah.

agree  potra: I think this is the best fit. A protected park is an entirely different thing and a guarded park sounds odd.
