It was not long before Vancouver Island’s publication The Times Colonist noticed that the beauty of Italy had manifested itself along the West Coast, in the form of a magnificent Tuscan Villa on Mayne Island.

Marrying the finest in traditional European materials with modern panache, Peter Rose Architecture + Interiors Inc.’s 2,600 square foot Mediterranean inspired vacation home was completed in Spring 2015. This luxury island vacation home includes unique features and elegant details that encompass lofty exposed timber ceilings and a 4.6 metre tower overlooking a lush Mediterranean landscape. The entranceway captures a sense of a different era, as a stone colonade surrounding a charming inner courtyard leads you into the heart of a cluster of stone clad buildings and the grand open concept living area, where floor to ceiling sliders open out onto a majestic overhanging ‘Sky Altar’ deck to showcase the breathtaking water views.
