But, as she readily admits, the climate is far from ideal for someone brought up under the Andalusian sun. Luckily, she is able to make frequent visits home to Granada, where some of her company’s production is based, and also loves to jet off with her family to stay in their spectacular villa in Barbados.
Surrounded by palm trees, crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches, this Caribbean idyll is just the place to disconnect, as the designer tells us here.
Celia, how long have you had this house?
“For a few years now. My husband and I have always loved travelling and discovering different countries and cultures.
“Some of our closest friends bought a house here a long time ago, and they told us so much about the island that we were eager to see it.
Just a few months after our first visit, we bought this place.”
What can you tell us about it?
“Like many on the coast, it’s quite new, because for a long time, much of the seashore was given over to fishing. The oldest houses are further inland. Ours was built in the 1960s. It’s fairly big but low-key, and fits well into its setting, a garden full of century-old trees. As for the interior, it was the truly open-plan design that seduced us.”
How about the decor?
