About Il Nido
Il Nido: A Dream Holiday Home Built with Passion
Il Nido is the realization of a Dutch family’s long-standing dream to build their own holiday home in Italy. This project has been an intense, creative, and fulfilling journey, and we are delighted to have collaborated successfully with our clients.
Inspiration for Design
Years ago, during a holiday in Greece, we stumbled upon an inspiring place that sparked our imagination. We purchased a unique design piece that now holds a prominent position in the house. Using this piece as the foundation, we built the entire design of Il Nido.
A Harmony of Nature
Il Nido is a harmonious blend of natural colors and materials that perfectly complement the surrounding garden and environment. The result is a holiday home that exudes warmth, comfort, and tranquility.
The Perfect Kitchen
One feature of Il Nido that we are particularly proud of is the kitchen. We designed it ourselves, and it was brought to life by our skilled local carpenters. The end result is a perfect blend of form and function that has become the centerpiece of the house. Our guests can’t resist gathering here throughout the day.
Overall, Il Nido is a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and collaboration. It is a holiday home that is both functional and beautiful, and it serves as a source of inspiration for all who visit.
