Overlooking the Ionian Sea, this former fisherman’s home has been reimagined as a versatile space that can be used as one or two separate units depending on the number of guests.

The restoration aimed to preserve the eclectic mix of materials while reviving the original layout. Chosen materials evoke the sea, reflecting its ever-changing colors.
A single new wall was introduced: a striking Calacatta Arabescato marble slab that divides the bathroom from the alcove bedroom, like an objet trouvé, salvaged from a nearby historic church.
In the second unit, or secondary bedroom, the walls are adorned with hand-painted ceramic tiles created by local artisans. The design, inspired by Ellsworth Kelly’s work, mirrors the movement and hues of the sea.
Arriving at the terrace via a staircase painted in sunrise tones, guests are greeted by breathtaking sea views.
All horizontal surfaces are finished in a sandy limestone matching that used in the nearby castle, virtually extending the pedestrian path from Forte San Giovannello.
An open-air shower, marked by a bold red circle, directs guests towards the sunrise.
