Villa Verde

Accommodation at Villa Azzurro is laid out across two floors. The main entrance leads into the communal hub of the property, a spacious open-concept living and dining area that epitomises the aesthetics, quality levels, and attention to detail of the villa as a whole. Stone-tiled floors topped with heavy-woven rugs bring warmth, furnishings in different shades of green reflect Verde’s name, and sweeps of glass speak to the pure contemporary design. Sets of glass doors combine to create a luminous atmosphere, while also bringing in the wonderful sea views and allowing seamless access to the main terrace. Carefully placed bibelots provide colour and interest, and the lighting, which includes integrated ceiling spots and designer lamps, enhances the already sophisticated, elegant and welcoming feel.

In the centre of this space, gathered in front of a 65” smart TV, is a voluminous L-shaped sofa and chaise longue. Immediately behind is the fantastic bar area with another sitting area consisting of an emerald green sofa and armchairs. The built-in SONOS music system extends throughout the interior and outdoor terraces. Beyond the living area is the main indoor dining area, with a large dining table for up to 10 people, which opens out directly onto the pool terrace. To the left of the dining area the sleek, fabulously well-equipped contemporary kitchen, with glass doors leading out to the al fresco dining area.

On the opposite end of the ground floor, you will find the first of the five bedrooms. Like all of the other bedrooms, it is equipped with a super king size bed, its own 55” smart TV, Hitachi central air conditioning with individual room control, a wardrobe with integrated safe, and a luxurious en-suite shower room.

Immediately flowing from the main entrance, a staircase leads up to the first floor, which is entirely given over to the remaining four bedrooms, each of which has its own private balcony terrace that gaze out over the Adriatic and across the sea to the Pakleni islands.

Let’s take our tour outside. The wonderful sweep of the terrace wraps around the property’s perimeter. The views are captivating, panning out to take in the crystal clear Adriatic in one direction, and the islands of Pakleni from the other. The terrace has been conceived to cater for a range of al fresco pleasures: the magnificent 11m-long infinity pool takes centre stage, but there is also the main outdoor dining area closest to the house, a well-shaded lounging area furnished with quality outdoor sofas and armchairs, plenty of sunloungers – all surrounded by the Mediterranean greenery that envelops the perimeter.

Directly behind the house, a staircase leads down to the smooth pebbles and clear waters of the President’s Beach.
