Villa Desire details

The Desire Villa is one of a group of four luxury villas set high above the bay of Mirabello. Painted cream and set beside palms, it’s a classy affair from the start.

And inside, it’s much the same. A den of smartly-designed rooms feature things like exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and big sliding glass doors. The dining room, lounge and kitchen are all open-plan, so the whole of the downstairs is flooded with light. Add Scandinavian-style pale wood furniture and comfy sofas, plus a big satellite TV and a DVD player in the lounge, and it’s got the balance of homely and cool just right.

Move upstairs and you’ll find a double bedroom with a muslin canopy over the bed, and a state-of-the-art en suite with a whirlpool bath and a balcony. The second double has its own entrance, a bathroom and a patio, too. So if you’re after a place with extra privacy, this is perfect.

As for the pool area, it’s pretty special. There’s a sun terrace complete with comfy sun loungers, thatched parasols and a hammock for those extra lazy moments. And set gracefully in the middle of it all is the pool. It’s a good-sized rectangular affair with great views to boot.
