Each room's décor is the work of the UK'sArgent Design and Rome-based studio Galeazzi Design, who opted for a clean,contemporary finish in shades of cream, brown and chocolate, making for acosy, homely yet modern interior. Tineo wood combines with white andpale furnishings, subtle lighting, luxurious leather and exclusive bespokefabrics, while vertical windows invite natural light and offer impressiveviews.Outside, the sun deck has spacious lounging areas, a mosaic-linedJacuzzi/pool, a barbecue and bar and a shaded dining area.
