“A neoclassical villa designed by Croatia's greatest sculptor to house his monumental works in bronze; marble; and wood; the peristyle garden overlooks the Adriatic and the islands of Brač and Šolta; walk through the Great Hall at 3 pm; the low-angled light catches the hand-chiseled texture of the walnut reliefs; the smell of salt air mixes with the scent of aged wood and cold stone.”
