Villa Philomena

From Villa Philomena’s elevated position, her front terraces provide stunning views along the picturesque channel between Korcula and the Peninsula, to the windsurfers, kitesurfers and sailboats below – perfect for sun soaked barbeques and relaxing in the daytime, and moonlit dinner and drinks in the evening. 

All four bedrooms have a wonderful uninterrupted view of the sea, with a panoramic view of the scene below stretching for miles...

Notes:

There is a property next door which is occasionally occupied by nice English friends of ours.

The concrete track leading to the villa is narrow and is not very well suited to large vehicles such as people carriers.  Medium-sized or smaller vehicles are recommended.

Villa Philomena is unsuitable for people of very limited mobility.

Design

Formerly two properties, Villa Philomena has been fully redesigned internally by one of the family owners, architect Viv Faithfull. In January 2004, the villa comprised only four stone walls; the internal spaces have since been designed to encourage air circulation throughout, using a spectacular three-storey void at the rear of the living room to create a wonderful openness through the villa. The design successfully blends rustic charm and modern design.
