Chalet en Gargasindi

A new project has emerged within a prestigious residential area, featuring a villa that is ideally positioned on a gently sloping plot of 1,079 m2, boasting a favorable southeast orientation.

The design of the villa takes the distinctive shape of an L, optimizing the available space on the property. One wing consists of two floors while the other is single-story, allowing each room to benefit from stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding lush forest. The house seamlessly blends into the slope, creating a visual experience where only two levels are perceivable from the heart of the plot; from the higher adjacent level, the villa appears as a singular story.

This clever L-shaped layout embraces the plot, establishing a central open space that harmonizes with the rustic landscape. A remarkable feature of this property is its proximity to rural land, providing the unique experience of urban living amidst a Mediterranean forest, combined with breathtaking sea views.

The heart of the home is located in the east wing on the ground floor, encompassing a kitchen overlooking the garden and pool, a dining area, and a living room with a fireplace. This space seamlessly connects to the outdoors through traditional Mediterranean porches adorned with reed roofing.

In the southern wing, an inviting and expansive living room opens up to the outdoors while also connecting with an English patio, facilitating exceptional cross ventilation and spatial richness. This light-filled area enhances a multifunctional space, perfect for a music room, gym, yoga practice, or games room—adaptable to the owner’s dreams.

Accessible from the spacious living room is the master suite, which is thoughtfully separated from the additional bedrooms on the upper floor. This suite features an appealing layout where the dressing area and bathroom connect in a circular flow, allowing for privacy without encroaching on the resting space. The crowning touch is its private access to a covered terrace, also equipped with a Mediterranean porch, offering delightful views of the pine woods and the sea. Envision evenings spent resting with the windows open, enveloped by the scents of jasmine, rosemary, and lavender.

The integration between both wings on the ground floor showcases a sculptural staircase that dramatically ascends to the night area on the upper level. Here, two bedrooms and three bathrooms are coupled with a continuous balcony showcasing panoramic sea views and a glimpse of the iconic rocky outcrop. Additionally, there’s a cozy sitting area that can be transformed into a third bedroom, providing access to two opposing terraces, further enhancing cross ventilation throughout the house.

The architecture of this villa exudes serenity and sensitivity, characterized by simple volumes that converse beautifully with the surrounding environment.
