Del Cielo captures the essence of sophisticated island living. Thoughtfully positioned on an elevated plot, the house offers sweeping sea and mountain vistas, bathed in sunlight from dawn until dusk.
Inspired by the island’s strong Venetian architectural influences and the beauty of its ancient olive grove, Del Cielo is a masterful interpretation of an Italian country house — gracefully nestling within the landscape, yet distinct as a striking architectural landmark.
From the flowing contemporary design to the handpicked Italian and locally sourced materials, every element has been chosen with care to create a sanctuary of calm and sophistication.
Del Cielo is not just a home but a statement of lifestyle — serene, stylish and completely captivating, where relaxation and elegance coexist.
Light, space and comfort define the interiors.
Panoramic windows — and others designed to “frame the view” — have been placed strategically so that every room offers a different perspective. Some blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor living; others focus on a single landscape feature.
The whole space is light and welcoming, with all rooms connecting directly to the exterior and enjoying their own coastal and garden views. High-quality finishes and thoughtfully curated décor create an atmosphere of relaxed refinement, while an open-plan layout makes the home ideal for entertaining or quiet family moments.
The villa has several outdoor areas for privacy and enjoyment, including private spaces, balconies, and courtyards, plus a large kitchen terrace for everyday eating.
Balmy Summer nights are completely relaxed affairs with two outdoor tables each with comfortable seating for 10. Entertaining is a breeze with a fabulous outdoor kitchen with barbecue and wood burning pizza oven and large stone table with seating.
Closer to the main house everyday eating usually takes place on the very generous and covered kitchen terrace where there is ample space for 10 to sit comfortably around a wooden refectory table.
