Floating on top of a hill, above the Mediterranean azure, this villa is designed to evoke the dramatic landscape from the inside out. The entrance lobby is a foretaste of the style within. Enlivened with touches of gold leaf and burgundy, it opens to the salons through parallel doorways, all hand painted in serene green and sky blue to complement the colors of the surrounding panoramas.
The ground floor salons are elegantly appointed in classical and neoclassical styles and enhanced with classic Travertino tiles. A sublime stairway adorned with gold leaf and bronze leads to the reception salon. The soaring double-volume ceiling, hand painted in floral motifs, invites the eye to the luxurious open space, enriched with custom-made decorative elements, elegant light fittings, attractive murals and high-tech facilities.
Capitalizing on the surrounding natural scenery, the reception salon opens to a vast outdoor terrace, designed to offer a sanctuary for memorable gatherings.
The living area, with its curved wooden ceiling, warm colors and comfortable furnishing, provides a welcoming environment while catching the sunlight from every angle. In this simply sustainable space, each bedroom suite is endowed with luxuriously appointed bathrooms and dressing rooms, and a delightful spot for relaxing and admiring the breathtaking views.
