Set amid a lush olive grove, this villa features a heated and salted water pool, a landscaped terrace. The home design, approached with research in the historical context, results in a chic, modern style with quality washed wooden boards and resin, antiqued wood, and washed terracotta floors. Wood-beamed ceilings in tones of pastel lend an airy feel to the interiors. Elements of classic Italian residential architecture, such as the several terraces with view over the seaside and the alfresco area in the garden are combined with contemporary touches, like ornamental fireplaces of design and a collection of interesting items, ranging from the art deco style of the 20’s through the vintage designs of the 40’s 50’s and 70’s, give life to an elegant atmosphere in which peace and privacy reign. Aesthetically, the house recalls traditional typologies, as well as materials, such as marble, oak, travertine stone, all locally sourced. Modern yet very comfortable, this is a chic retreat with an elegant aura and a sophisticated vibe, blending traditional and modern Italian architecture.
During the renovation the architect and team states ‘we let ourselves be guided by the green soul of the building, aware that every step, however small, can be decisive’. Energy saving, as well as a duty for the planet, is a lifestyle for us, an aim to be pursued every day. The same ecological spirit has led the team to eliminate plastic bottles, choosing a filtration process to guarantee water without residues and at the right salinity.
