Villa Cala PiccolaItaly, Tuscany

Villa Cala Piccola was designed in the 1970s by the Spanish architect Julio Lafuente, who managed to cleverly blend the exterior and interior of the villa to create a uniquely harmonious living space. The villa sleeps up to fourteen guests in seven double bedrooms, each with air conditioning and its own luxurious en suite bathroom. Each of the bedrooms has a distinctive, personal style and has been decorated with period and contemporary art.

The ground floor of the villa boasts two indoor living rooms plus a stunning outside living space that seamlessly forms part of the interior whilst enjoying the benefits of the fresh Tuscan sea breezes. The black slate flooring creates a dramatic backdrop to the azure blue of the sky above and the sea below. The dining room features a stunning black table and natural stone walls and the kitchen is spacious and comes fitted with all the necessary conveniences for cooking up divine Italian meals.

The spectacular terrace faces west and romantic sunsets set the mood for cosy conversations. The infinity swimming pool is set just below the villa and looks out over the Mediterranean.
