STYLING
Reminiscent of sun-drenched afternoons in Mykonos beach clubs, dusty aged tiles from a Tuscan villa, and the old-world charm of the South of France, this renovation became an earthy oasis and an ode to the family’s many travels across Europe and beyond.
Villa Rilassare embodies a cool, calm and collected approach to resort-style living. Warm, textural walls are grounded by cool stone underfoot, while aged timbers are softened through layers of rich natural fibres and woven details. The palette feels sun-washed and timeworn, balancing Mediterranean ease with everyday functionality.
Designed as an entertainer’s sanctuary, the home is built upon a deep love for gathering. Open, flowing spaces invite long lunches, shared meals and slow evenings that stretch well beyond sunset. It is a home that holds both celebration and stillness with equal grace.
