Villa Sansarea is a family project of Sanja, Stole and our children Andrey and Rea.

The Dalmatian coast was always in our hearts and for years we sailed the Adriatic sea and enjoyed the islands but also wanted to find a place where we could build our dream house.

After five years of looking for the right place we were lucky to find a gorgeous one on the Korcula island. We disembarked on the jetty in front of the plot and climbed up the stairs winding between the terraced gardens with olive and lemon trees. The crickets were the only sound to be heard beyond the waves which crashed against the rocks. We looked back at the sea, a stunning view of Lastovo island appeared and we immediately knew, this is our piece of paradise.

Our clear intention was to design a house which would let us enjoy the beauty of the nature in a luxurious spacy environment. Furthermore we wanted to share it with our guests. Nevertheless, although we appreciate very much if others like our house as we are offering it also for rent, we have never thought of building it to maximize the commercial aspect of this beautiful location. Instead, first and foremost, it had to fit us to enjoy it, it had to fulfill our long desire to create a beautiful home according to our taste and this was the guiding principle which prevailed in every decision regarding the architectural choices, meticulous selection of the materials, etc. Hence, instead of accommodating one more sleeping room, we have preferred a large open space living and dining area with an atrium ceiling and an enormous glass front, enabling the house to be full of light and opening it to the outside lounge and pool area along the entire glass wall.

We like to give attention to the details and do things with love and passion. A large amount of time we have spent, in particular Sanja, to delightfully select the designer pieces over the course of several years and incorporate them into the house.

It is funny to tell, but true, the dimensions of some parts of the house were tailored to fit the beautiful designer furniture, e.g. the kitchen area has been designed around the kitchen, which Stole and Sanja fell in love with and acquired even before building the house.

When asked about the favorite place in the villa, Rea would immediately say it is the lounge on the first floor as it has a beautiful view and offers a private retreat for reading and relaxing. For Andrey it would be the kitchen, as where could you have a better place to create delicious meals than in the marvelous kitchen with the gorgeous sea view. Stole’s favorite is the outdoor which hosts several delightfully created seating areas, BBQ and a large infinity pool. Sanja, however, likes the hidden private room located near the sea. Literally in every spot in the house she has taken particular care to place a nice comforting chair to sit in a shade, chat and enjoy the views.

We have created our dream house and it is just like Davide Bowie once said “You don’t have to die to be in paradise”.
