Villa Sabioncello

Peljesac Peninsula

Croatia’s Pelješac Peninsula has been a favourite location for the villas and holiday homes of naval officers and sea captains from Republic of Ragusa for the last several hundred years. The Kaliterna team was tasked with a complete renovation of the 1960s “Villa Sabioncello”—a renovation that would gracefully introduce elements of contemporary classic design into the internatonal style villa. Thanks to the incorporation of teak woods and other natural materials, and decorative objects from around the world, the space gets a graceful, understated update while staying true to its original heart. The renovated Villa, with its 15,000 square metres of gardens, exudes romance.
