We love this coastal villa with its bold mix of classic Italian and Asian-influenced design. The living room has beautiful parquet flooring, polished to a high, mirror-like shine. Dotted around the space you’ll find a bright red lacquered chest and an intricate Chinese cabinet. The walls are decorated with Japanese fans, while a vibrant red feature wall lights up one end like the rising sun. Alongside these treasures sit classic Italian furniture and artworks – it shouldn’t work, but somehow it really does. Meanwhile, the kitchen feels 100% vintage Italian with copper pans lining the walls and retro coffee pots. The outside terrace has sweeping views of the coast and the shining sea beyond, and there’s a barbecue area with shady outside seating. The beautiful gardens that surround the villa, along with the outdoor swimming pool, are shared with a couple of neighbouring villas.
