A state-of-the-art Italian kitchen with Miele appliances and a Neolith island anchors the interior, complemented by a cozy lounge area and a chic dining space. Wide sliding doors open onto a generous outdoor terrace featuring a shaded al fresco dining area for 32 guests, a stylish infinity pool, and a second dining zone with a full inox outdoor kitchen.

The first-floor master suite is a private retreat with expansive sea and mountain views. It features a spacious ensuite with a freestanding bath and double rain shower, a luxurious bedroom area with adjacent sitting space, and not one but two walk-in wardrobes. Two separate private terraces provide serene settings for morning coffee or evening relaxation, one of which includes an outdoor kitchen and lounge.

From underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout to electric shutters and mosquito nets, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The surrounding garden, abundant with olive trees, fruit trees, herbs, and tropical plants, creates a serene natural environment. A blend of open patios and shaded courtyards offers endless options for relaxation—whether practicing yoga at sunrise, savoring a glass of wine at sunset, or hosting unforgettable gatherings under the stars.
