Contemporary style meets imperial grandeur in a breathtaking natural setting. A grand entrance sets the scene, with oversized wooden gates swinging open to reveal a beautifully landscaped inner courtyard lined on either side by palm trees that lead directly through to the villa's sumptuous living area. As you enter the main living area, youre attention is drawn by a dramatic, gothic-styled black chandelier in the centre of the room. The contrast between contemporary style and antique accessories provides a powerful, appealing theme Balance is achieved with white terrazzo floor and walls, while dark tables, lamps and statues sit around a light, plush sofa and the room extends through glass doors onto a terrace with stunning coastal views The careful selection of defining Asian artwork and ornaments adds a deep sense of history to otherwise modern spaces. Black and white styling combines pleasing aesthetics with absolute comfort and originality High vaulted wooden ceilings give Villa Michaela a palatial ambience and create an extravagant sense of space. The generous, round terrazzo-topped white dining table is a fabulous place to enjoy sumptuous cuisine prepared by the private chef.
