Le Marche Villa

My friends, hold on to your hats because today I am taking you to a breathtaking villa in Le Marche, to what seems to be a hidden jewel in Italy.

Converted into a vacation home with a guest house, Casa Olivi is located on a hill in Treia and is a result of a 4-year renovation process by Swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jerome de Meuron. The 300-year old villa was destroyed by fire in 1995 but the architects revived it with keen eye for modern lines while being respectful of the original charm. The result is a stunning home that is elegant, minimal and oh so delightful for the eyes!

If this is a “farmhouse”, we all might as well become weekend farmers, don’t you think?

    Quaint and rustic, meets modern and minimal – beautifully executed.

    I agree with Clinton and add that I’d gladly live there. The most serene farmhouse.

    Seen it before… but still… It’s great. And I see no problem in living there.

    This is very nice. Minimalism in a rustic setting like this works very well.
