Villa Azzurro

INSIDE

Accommodation at Villa Azzurro is laid out in an L-shaped house across three floors. From a creamy stone staircase leading up to a shady portico, the front door of the main house leads into the communal hub of the property, a spacious open-concept living and dining area that epitomises the aesthetics, quality levels, and attention to detail of the villa as a whole.

Stone-tiled floors topped with heavy-woven rugs bring warmth, furnishings in different shades of blue reflect Azzurro’s name, and sweeps of glass speak to the pure contemporary design. Sets of glass doors combine to create a luminous atmosphere, while also bringing in the wonderful sea views and allowing easy access to the main pool terrace. Carefully placed bibelots provide colour and interest, and the lighting, which includes integrated ceiling spots and designer lamps, enhances the already sophisticated and welcoming feel.

In the centre of this space, flanking a 65” smart TV, is a large L-shaped sofa and pair of armchairs. To the right is another sitting area with another sofa gathered around a pair of coffee tables. The built-in SONOS music system extends throughout the interior and outdoor terraces. Beyond this sitting area is the main indoor dining area, with a large dining table for up to 10 people, which opens out directly onto the pool terrace. Behind the dining area, the sleek, fabulously well-equipped contemporary kitchen awaits.

To the left of the main entrance, you will find the first of the five bedrooms. Like all of the other bedrooms, it is equipped with a super king size bed, its own 55” smart TV, Hitachi central air conditioning with individual room control, a wardrobe with integrated safe, and a luxurious en-suite shower room.

To the immediate right of the main entrance, a staircase leads up and down to the first and lower ground floors. The first floor is entirely given over to the remaining four bedrooms and access to two balcony terraces gazing out over the Adriatic and across the sea to the Pakleni islands.

The gym/fitness studio and sauna area is on the lower ground floor level, where there is also a massage table at your disposal for any in-villa wellness therapies. There is also a separate shower and WC on this floor.

OUTSIDE

The wonderful sweep of the terrace extends from the front of the house on one of the sea-facing sides of the property. The views are captivating, panning out to take in the crystal clear Adriatic, and the islands of Pakleni in the distance.

The ground floor terrace has been conceived to cater for a range of al fresco pleasures: the magnificent 11m-long infinity pool takes centre stage, but there is also the main outdoor dining area, a well-shaded lounging area furnished with quality outdoor sofas and armchairs, plenty of sunloungers – all surrounded by the Mediterranean greenery that envelops the perimeter.

Directly behind the house, a trail leads down to the smooth pebbles and clear waters of the President’s Beach.
