Architecture

An eerie dream

 
A pleasing fusion of Greek and comfortable British design may be found in Villa Orpheus. The owners, an English couple, purchased two nearby villas in the typical Cycladic style, and Jane Wunder was hired to decorate them. Furniture by Arne Jacobsen and Charles and Ray Eames is displayed with pieces by emerging London artist Annie Morris. A freshwater pool, two kitchens, and five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
 
starting at €9,800 weekly.

RIDING A HORSEBACK

Godswindow Villa is not overly dramatic in any way. Its windows provide absolutely exquisite views. The property is tucked away between vineyards and mountains where some of the best wines in the southern hemisphere are produced. The building's modernist exterior hides a chic, minimalist interior designed by architect Georg van Gass. The villa features three bedrooms, a 16-meter pool, and two horses for visitors to ride around the countryside in its own stables. A nightly rate of $200 per person.

ON A VOLCANO, LIFE

A historic mansion located thirty kilometers from Syracuse is called Villa Fiona. Etna views, an exotic plant garden, a lemon orchard, a swimming pool - It is not unexpected that the biggest celebrities in the world frequently visit here for a vacation. Ten bedrooms are available, each with a private bathroom and tastefully renovated decor. Amazing four-poster beds are available! A maid service is available 24/7 at the villa. Please request a price.

A MODERN SETTING

In addition to purchasing this 12-bedroom villa with a beach and a hectare-long lawn, French fashion designer Pascal Morabito also personally decorated it. The estate boasts its own spa and even a small museum of Indonesian handicrafts to keep guests engaged. starting at €5,400/night.

SURF AND SAND

The Manuel Ayres Mateus project, Casas na Areia, created a stir in the architectural community and was even included in the Portuguese pavilion at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale. Four residences made of natural materials and outfitted with upscale furniture make up the complex. Three of them are residences, while the fourth is an open-air breakfast pavilion (the sand of the beach replaces it). as low as €500 per night (including breakfast).

Extra seasons

The 2000 square meter property at Villa Cassinella on the banks of Lake Como has plenty of room for visitors. The building has been meticulously renovated by the owner, an avid collector of antiques, with special attention paid to the furniture. There are all the accoutrements of la dolce vita, including silverware and antique furnishings. Visitors can take tours around the lake in a private boat. The tennis court and pool are no longer necessary soft furnishings.

The paradise of Robinson

This little island off the southern coast of Sri Lanka was found by the French Count Maurice de Mony-Talvand in the 1920s, and it is a must-see. The count purchased the island and constructed an octagonal home surrounded by terraces after becoming mesmerized by the beauty of the lush green area. The majority of the colonial-style furniture he used to adorn the rooms is still in use today. The property contains five bedrooms, and the chef cooks all of the meals.
 
770 euros or less per night.
