Starting out from the town centre, a small, winding, shady road winds its way between the slopes of a hill to reach the summit and reveal a breathtaking panorama. Below, the road continues and leads to the front gate of the house, behind which there is a parking area for four vehicles, two of which are sheltered from the sun under an awning built into the house. Opposite this area, the garden, laid out mainly in two wide terraces, extends to the south-west, where the swimming pool (5 x 12 m) is located. From here, there is a remarkable view of the sea and the countryside, dotted with greenhouses and cultivated fields. The main façade of the building, facing south-west, forms a U shape. The oldest part, comprising the central body and the south-east wing at a right-angle, is two storeys high and forms the main section of the dwelling. The north-west wing, a single-storey extension, is fully integrated into the building complex, with two large, straight windows. At the heart of the U-shape, the pergola, with its fully removable walls, is the focal point of life on sunny days. On the first floor, another terrace follows the contours of the building, including above the extension, and also enjoys a beautiful panoramic view of the sea. The south-east façade features four straight windows topped by three oculi. A straight, extra-thick frame surrounds each of the windows, adding relief to the various façades. The two-sloped canal tile roofs are emphasised by a row of double cornices. All of the walls are rendered in light, warm colours to match the terracotta of the roof.

The main body

The garden-level floor
The entrance is at the rear of the house from the parking area. A curved, glazed, double-leaf wrought iron door with large panes opens onto the hall, which leads to a fully-equipped kitchen in the central section and a lounge to the left. The south-west-facing kitchen is linked by a large sliding patio door to the pergola, beneath which is a terrace clad in terracotta tiles. A slatted mechanism in the pergola allows you to modify the intensity of the light that passes through it, right into the room. The lounge (over 50 m²) is located in the south-east wing and connects with the kitchen. Equally bright thanks to its windows on two sides, it opens onto four straight windows, two of which have sliding patio doors. Numerous recesses in the walls, a number of cleverly placed niches and a separate shelf in the middle of the living room prevent monotony and give the different spaces their own individuality. From the living room, a staircase and corridor lead upstairs to a bedroom with an en suite shower room, utility room and toilet. On this floor, the design is resolutely modern without being flashy, and adds a high level of comfort. The floors are tiled and light-coloured; the walls are painted in a variety of colours, pastel or bright depending on the room, and the ceilings are white. Finally, a gently curving external staircase leads down to the basement, which houses two separate cellars, remnants of the old house, each served by a flight of steps.
The upstairs
On the first floor, only the south-east wing has been completely renovated. The staircase leads directly into the small living room, a cosy space with exposed beams and soft light, thanks to its natural lighting through the oculi. In the same part of the house, a corridor leads to a bedroom and bathroom. This opens onto the terrace - which is tiled and uncovered, but protected from the east wind - which overlooks the kitchen. In the central, non-renovated section, two bedrooms also open onto the terrace with sea views. They benefit from high ceilings, which have made it possible to build a mezzanine. There is also a shower room and toilet in the central area. This floor also has light-coloured tiled floors, walls painted in a variety of colours and white ceilings with exposed beams.
