A 15th Century Stone House


This is a lovely 15th Century Stone House on an island off Croatia. This residence that overlooks the harbor was restored by architect Steven Harris and interior designer Lucien Rees Roberts for themselves. I love the calm and serene surroundings of this stone house and the picturesque view that you get whenever you are outdoors. This house may not be my dream house where I would want to live everyday of my life, but this is certainly an ideal weekend home for me or a hideaway that I would love to go to once or twice a year, a place to rejuvenate tired body and relax the senses... And I just love the simplicity of design of the Master's Bedroom, but don't be fooled because it is definitely comfy and stylish for its furnishings include a Ribbon chair by Pierre Paulin, Glant chair fabric and Calvin Klein linens. I would definitely enjoy my meals in that inviting dining room situated at the center of the house with a wonderful terrace and island views on one side and a citrus court on the other. And I just love the spaciousness of each room of this lovely stone house.

    everything is beautiful, the setting of course, the bathroom, and the living room with the giant open hearth.
    wow.
