Approach
This stunning yellow-painted villa has been designed to a high contemporary finish, with a spacious layout and plenty of natural light through its large glass windows and doorways. Situated in the pretty fishing village of Cala San Viente, where the pace of life is slow and calm and slow, this villa enjoys a forest-side setting and overlooks tall pine trees to its left. From the private driveway in the small front garden, a door opens into an entrance hall at the beginning of the open-plan ground floor.
Ground Floor
The spacious, light and airy ground floor consists of a large open-plan area with kitchen/diner and living room. The very contemporary design features lots of large glass windows and doors – flooding the space with natural light. The floor is covered in soft laminate, the walls are rendered in yellow and there are pale wooden beams on some parts of the ceiling. The villa is well-furnished, and decorated with attention to detail and a luxurious feel.
The living room has two cushioned wicker sofas and matching armchairs around a central coffee table. There are large glass doors and windows on either side overlooking the pool and garden. Doors open out on to the covered terrace.
Behind is a hallway with a small round table and three director-style chairs. Two corridors lead either side of a central column to the kitchen/dining room. There are four very large panels of glass set into the corner walls, providing open view over the pool and gardens. A dark wood dining table and six chairs sits here next to the contemporary kitchen fitted with pale wooden units and stainless steel fittings. The long gallery kitchen is lit by two sunny windows and well-equipped with an integral oven, dishwasher, microwave and gas hob, as well as a kettle and toaster.
Also on this floor is a shower room with a walk-in shower enclosure, twin washbasins, toilet and mirror. One bedroom has a double bed, bedside tables and an en-suite shower room. There is also a twin bedroom.
First Floor
Stairs lead you to the first floor bedrooms, where there is another shower room with a long wall mirror. One bedroom is furnished with twin wooden beds, a bedside cabinet, en-suite shower room and an open-fronted wardrobe with a Venetian blind cover.
There is a further comfortable bedroom with twin beds and an open-fronted wardrobe. The final bedroom has a single bed, which also has a pull-out bed underneath it. This means that this room can also be used as a twin.
Outside
The pretty paved garden at Villa Cristalle are bordered on one side by a stone wall and green hedge, and on the other by a fragrant pine forest. A path leads slightly upwards around the side of the villa to the large terrace at the back. There are several leafy plants and small trees within the garden. At the back is a long private pool with integral steps to one side leading you gently into the water.
There is a terraced roof balcony for more private sunbathing, or you can relax on the terrace. Sat here under the shade is the perfect place for a long, lazy lunch or dinner cooked fresh on the sizzling barbecue.
