Sunrise House

INSIDE

Accommodation at Sunrise House is spread across a three-storey main house and a two-storey annex just in front, connected by stone paths and archways.

Main house:

The hub of the main house, on the ground level, is a welcoming open-concept living and dining area, where the original exposed stone floors meet stone walls that flow throughout. To one side is a hardwood dining table for 8, while to the other is the first of the property’s three well-equipped kitchens.

A flight of external stone steps leads up to the first floor, which is home to two of the bedrooms that share a bathroom:

• the main bedroom, a spacious and luminous king with a pair of French doors that open out onto the upper floor balcony, complete with lounge and dining seating.

• an interconnected king bedroom behind, perfect for children to stay close while maintaining a sense of privacy.

Straight ahead is a hardwood staircase leading up to the second floor, where the space flows into another well-equipped kitchen and dining area. Much like the first floor below, pairs of French doors bring in the natural light and provide access to a balcony. At this elevation, the balcony looks out to sea. The gentle colour palette of this level – smooth creamy tiled floors, stone walls, and exposed wooden beams – create an atmosphere that is authentic, tranquil, and airy.

A few steps behind the kitchen is the second floor bedroom, a double-aspect king, and a bathroom.

Accommodation in the main house is completed by a final wooden staircase that takes one to the attic bedroom – the fourth room with a king size bed – and wonderful picture window views out across the Adriatic.

Front annex:

A stone-tiled path leads from the pool area directly to the ground floor of the front annex building, framed by an elegantly arched set of French doors and windows. Step inside and one is in a generously proportioned open-plan communal space comprising the third modern kitchen, an indoor dining table, and a comfortable sofa. A few steps behind is the annex’s bathroom.

A spiral staircase leads up from behind the living area into the annex bedroom, a luminous double-aspect king with access to its private wraparound terrace, complete with deckchairs, from which to soak up the most spectacular views Sunrise House has to offer.

OUTSIDE

Al fresco life at Sunrise House is centred around the splendid pool area. Stone paving leads from the main house, through an archway, past the front annex and petite manicured garden areas to this special place. At the centre, surrounded by more of that perfect paving and flanked on both sides by sun loungers, sits the irresistible 36m² pool – while to one side is a wooden pavilion containing the day bed. Gazing out over the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, this is the place where guests find time truly starts to stand still.

Set just behind to one side is the main alfresco dining table, served by the traditional wood-burning barbeque positioned a few metres away on the interconnecting stone path. To the other side, a ping pong table beckons for pre-dinner enjoyment.

All of the floors of both buildings flow out onto balconies or terraces, allowing guests to enjoy a truly indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The house is dotted with sitting spots all around, so you will never struggle to find your own peaceful spot for a quiet morning coffee, relaxing with a book, or taking an afternoon snooze.
