Each villa has its own distinct aesthetic, details, & views showcasing their individuality, whilst creating a complete ensemble. The PETRES ensemble has been created through a family collaboration, resulting in three (summer/holiday) homes for three sisters. This can be seen in the antique heirlooms sprinkled between the rooms, in the high quality of materials chosen throughout & most importantly in the layout of the villas. Each villa is on different levels of the property allowing privacy & separation if desired, but also having the freedom to have shared full movement between each home - ‘a mini village’ as it was dreamt up to be for a big family.
