Carol, the villa we are in this year is part of a residence with about 8 units. There’s no shared space but each unit has a second story balcony from which you can look down at your neighbor’s space. That being said, it’s easy enough to look up from the pool and see if anyone’s on the balcony. For me personally, I think it’s probably private enough to do what you want with minimal risk of prying eyes if you aren’t clutching your pearls too tightly.
