“Casa Olivi has everything you could expect in such a luxurious villa, from signature furnishing from international designers to a state of the art kitchen. AXOR was the obvious choice for the bathrooms and fits perfectly with the interior concept of Swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jérôme de Meuron.”Sophie Heaulme, Owner of Casa Olivi
An historic structure with contemporary appeal
For those seeking a more secluded, traditional side of Italy, Casa Olivi may be the ideal destination. Perched in the rolling hills of Treia, in central Marche, the 5-bedroom villa offers uninterrupted views, truffle-hunting expeditions, private dinners by Michelin-starred chefs, and wine tastings with the region's top sommeliers. A former 19th-century farmhouse, throughly renovated by renowned Swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jérôme de Meuron, Casa Olivi features an infinity pool, a state-of-the-art kitchen and luxuriously simple bathrooms equipped with AXOR Starck mixers at the wash basin and bathtub.
Inspired by the traditional well pump, AXOR Starck is the perfect match to Casa Olivi's bucolic setting. The iconic single-lever mixers consist of two cylinders - one a vertical base, the other a diagonal spout - crowned by a joystick control. Simple, rational, reduced to the essential, the mixers, finished ere in Chrome, harmonize with the villa's elemental aesthetic while offering an eye-catching contrast to the natural stone walls. Particularly striking are the floor-standing AXOR Starck bathtub mixers.
"The architectural language thematizes the combination of old substance and new interventions," say Wespi and de Meuron of Casa Olivi, "sometimes by contrast and sometimes by merging both old and new." The special space that Casa Olivi inhabits - somewhere between past and present, yet somehow belonging to both - might well be applied to wider context, as well: Marche has been referred to as Italy's best-kept secret. With its central location, Casa Olivi is the perfect base for discovering the region's wealth of natural beauty and Renaissance culture.
