It’s said you need an island to experience the holiday of your dreams… but when this island comes together with an amazing residence, it makes you feel the happiest person on earth. Unfortunately, we can’t rent this house but we can at least look at the pictures and find some inspiration. Located on the Spanish island of Formentera, the house is owned by Consuelo Castiglioni – fashion designer and founder of the label Marni.

The residence provokes the traditional spirit and preserves the rustic atmosphere of calm and relaxation you find in the villages. I love the clean white walls and lack of pretense.  It looks like the perfect place to get lost in a book or fall asleep in the sun. I also like that they have fitted an industrial kitchen in this simple stone structure. A wonderful contrast of old and new.  Also note the  trio of chandeliers next to the bed (with its carved head board).
