Did I mention that I like converted monastries and churches*? They give so much design freedom (plus a couple design challenges). Here is a beautifully converted monastry in Liguria, Italy, with a view to Corsica and the montains of Portofino in the distance. What a bliss to live here!
Imagine you wake up to this view everyday! And the garden is georgeous! I've spotted not one but several perfect breakfast places.
*Check out this place, and this one.
