Villa Branco

A cupola foyer opens into a small garden courtyard surrounded by wide walkways with gleaming off-white stone flooring. To the right, past an enormous vintage trunk, is a larger rectangular courtyard with a swimming pool. Carved white screens and louvered doors around it lead to beautifully adorned bedrooms, one of which features beautiful honey-and-cream striped flooring and an intricate inlay chest of drawers. A sprawling living and dining area with arched doorways sits at the intersection of the courtyards. Inside, white woven cane chairs surround an antique wooden dining table, and next to it, a palace door embedded with mirrors, houses a breath-taking wall-to-wall crockery cupboard. A staircase with vintage flower flooring leads to a bedroom with a sloping roof overlooking the greenery. In the bathroom, an ancient- marble bird bath serves as an exquisite sink. Villa Branco, bathed in shades of white, soothes every sense.
