Casa dei Gabbiani - Two Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 4

A superbly furnished, gorgeously finished seafront villa with pool and many more luxurious touches...read on!

Casa dei Gabbiani has been designed with both aesthetic and sensuous pleasures in mind. Attention to detail, practical elegance and an overriding sense of quality combine to create a superbly comfortable all-year-round home away from home.

Inside: the main entrance of Casa dei Gabbiani, accessed via the shady sea-view terrace at the front of the house, takes one into the living room. Here, high wood-beamed ceilings, a large skylight, a feature fireplace, sink-in sofas and polished concrete floors create an atmosphere that is at once light and airy and cosily comfortable.

Moving straight on, a wide opening leads to the impressive kitchen-diner, whose glass roof, banks of windows and glass doors accessing the rear gardens make this an exceedingly luminous spot in which to prepare meals and dine. Extremely spacious and well-equipped, the kitchen also features a wood-fired grill.

Back in the living room, a large sliding door accesses a double-twin bedroom, which offers views out across the front gardens to the sea. To the side of this bedroom, a corridor leads from the living room past a shower room to double bedroom with en-suite shower room and sea views.

Back in the kitchen, a flight of stairs takes one down to the lower floor and to a TV and media room, furnished with a comfy sofa and an armchair. Also on the lower floor is a fitness and wellness room. Please note that these rooms are in the basement and do not have any external windows. A fully integrated sound system runs throughout the house and the outdoor areas.

Outside: Casa dei Gabbiani works perfectly both in summer and winter and during the former you will probably spend most of your time outside. There are two main areas, both of which feature large expanses of manicured lawned gardens, palm trees and a variety of Mediterranean shrubs and trees.

To the front, sea-facing side of the house, the generously green grass runs past a panoramic aperitif area and eventually gives way to a shady sea-view terrace, which is fully furnished for lounging and dining in comfort.

On the other side of the house, accessed from the kitchen or via the gardens, is a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with large wood-fired barbecue, and a covered dining area overlooking the spacious decked pool area.. From here the lawned gardens continue alongside the palm-tree-lined driveway for around 50 metres, offering plenty of space for fun and games.

The dreamy outside living experience arguably gets even better as the sun begins to set, thanks to the elaborate outdoor illumination and integrated sound systems that creates a magical, romantic atmosphere… the perfect ambience in which to share convivial dinners long into the night.

If you love the style of Casa dei Gabbiani, you'll probably also love its sister villa, Casa delle Sirene.

From here a fast ferry service will whisk you off to Valletta on Malta. Crossings take about 1h 45min so it is eminently possible to make a day trip there.

Casa dei Gabbiani has a quiet camper van site on the neighbouring property.

Because of natural changes to the coastline from season to season, the sandy beach in front of this property may not look as it does in the photos.

Stray cats may be seen in the villa grounds, where the housekeeping staff leave food and water for them. This is left far from the house itself and they are not encouraged to roam the grounds, however we cannot guarantee that they will stay away from outside furniture.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
Arrival details will be confirmed by The Thinking Traveller after your villa is confirmed.
