The People Behind Villa Mayumba

Villa Mayumba was not born by chance. It is the fruit of a demanding and passionate renovation project, carried out with great care over several months to transform a house built in 1967 into a unique, warm and wonderfully escapist holiday destination.

From architecture to decoration, from the garden to the roof structure, every detail was considered, every material chosen, every space imagined. And behind each of those choices, there are women and men architects, craftspeople, creators and landscape designers — who gave their talent, expertise and passion to bring this project to life.

This page is dedicated to them. Because a beautiful home is, above all, a beautiful team.
