Detached, historic villa with terraced park garden, pool & garage

INTERIOR

Main House
The main house of this historic manor - once home to a former sea captain - offers a thoughtfully composed layout that blends architectural heritage with contemporary comfort. At its heart is a spacious central hall, around which the principal rooms are arranged with a sense of symmetry and flow.

Original features from the turn of the century remain beautifully intact: elegant wooden double doors, ornate stucco ceilings, antique wooden windows, and intricate cast-iron railings add a sense of depth and character. The architecture includes two accessible turrets, subtle reminders of the building’s historic significance. Generous ceiling heights of nearly four meters further enhance the sense of light and volume throughout the interior.

To the front, the entry hall leads directly into a generous living room, where an open, functional fireplace anchors the space. From here, French doors open onto a wide terrace, overlooking a park-like, terraced garden complete with a large swimming pool - a tranquil setting that invites both relaxation and entertaining.

The kitchen, positioned to the left of the hall, is designed with clarity and function in mind. Finished in a clean, timeless white, it is both spacious and understated, with direct access to a combined pantry and laundry area. A small guest bathroom is discreetly located nearby.

The right wing of the house is dedicated to private quarters. The primary bedroom suite includes a large en-suite bathroom with bathtub, and a walk-in wardrobe, offering privacy and quiet seclusion. A second bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom occupies the adjacent corner, ideal for guests or family members.

A spiral staircase near the living room connects to the upper level, where panoramic sea views unfold from multiple vantage points - a reminder of the villa’s elevated position.

The property has been extensively and carefully renovated, including the roof. Modern upgrades such as gas central heating, radiators, and partial air conditioning or ceiling fans have been integrated subtly to maintain comfort while respecting the building’s architectural integrity.

This main residence brings together period charm and practical elegance in a layout that is as suited to quiet living as it is to hosting - an authentic home with a clear sense of place.

Guest House
Separate from the main residence and accessed via exterior stairs, the guest house offers a quiet, self-contained retreat. At its center is a comfortable lounge area, connecting two spacious bedroom suites positioned at either end.

Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom, with the left-side bedroom also featuring a dedicated wardrobe area, making it ideal for longer stays. The layout is simple, private, and functional - perfect for hosting guests, extended family, or creating a more independent living zone.

While distinct from the main house, the guest level maintains the villa’s overall sense of elegance and calm, offering a private, flexible extension to the historic home.

EXTERIOR
The façade of this old captain’s villa exudes unmistakable Mediterranean charm. Its warm, sandy beige exterior blends effortlessly into the surrounding park-like garden, where mature trees and dense greenery provide a natural buffer from the outside world. A distinctive tower with battlement-style detailing rises above the main structure, subtly recalling the villa’s maritime roots and lending it a touch of fortress-like character.

Elegant wrought-iron railings trace the balconies and terraces, adding a note of historic refinement, while tall wooden-shuttered windows invite in dappled sunlight and ocean breezes. The terracotta roof tiles and shaded pergola on the upper level evoke a lifestyle of relaxed sophistication - leisurely afternoons spent overlooking the garden, sea, and sky.

Within the expansive grounds, a rich planting scheme unfolds: fig and lemon trees dot the landscape, their scent and color adding to the sensory richness. Nestled among the greenery is a magical hideaway by the pool, ideal for quiet moments or gathering with friends. Tucked into a more secluded corner lies a secret garden, a gently overgrown space filled with a curated mix of trees and bushes - offering a moment of stillness and discovery.

Partially veiled by palms and bamboo, the villa maintains a sense of privacy and mystery, as though it were quietly waiting to be found - quiet elegance and timeless coastal beauty, where past and present exist in effortless harmony.
