Villa Cala

The villa is built of pale stone and sits at the edge of a quiet lane, with native grasses and low walls around the garden. A pergola shades a long wooden table, and the cove lies below, reached on foot in a few minutes. The rooms are simple and light, with limestone floors and white walls.

The kitchen has limestone counters, green-painted cabinets and open shelves of ceramics. Morning light comes in through the doorway to the terrace, where breakfast is usually taken. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged on one level, which keeps the house easy for families.
