VILLA DESCRIPTION

VILLA I1084 IN TAORMINA, SICILY, ITALY

Villa Normanna was built in 1968 by the painter Gunvor Advocaat and her husband Thurmann Nielsen

Oistein, a painter and graphic artist. The couple first lived in Rome before moving to Taormina, Sicily,

where they stayed for many years, making their dream come true by building a house on a mountainside

overlooking the Mediterranean sea with a terrace-garden filled with exotic trees and flowers. Every

corner of the villa is filled with the spirit of these two artists who left nothing to chance. Parts of the

Mediterranean-style floors in some of the rooms, which are based on sketches by Thurmann, have a

�faded� effect which shows the originality of these works of art covering the ground. The indoor and

outdoor areas of the villa are decorated with Sicilian cart keys and wheels, jars, horseshoes, stirrups,

large stones and small old carriage lamps. The artistic couple decided to pay tribute to Taormina and

Sicily in the garden-terrace: the villa is presented through a large wooden door (made by Thurmann

himself) set within a lava stone frame, and the area in front of the door has mosaics created using sea

pebbles collected from the beach. Despite having made numerous improvements to the property, the

current owners have also managed to preserve the atmosphere created by the two artists. The

furnishings are typically Sicilian in color and style and the modern elements blend in perfectly with the

original structure. The villa has central heating, air conditioning in every room, satellite TV, CD and

DVD player, washing machine, dishwasher, barbecue and ADSL Broadband internet connection. The

living room, which is connected to the dining area, leads directly to the swimming pool that faces the

sea and is on the left-hand side of the splendid terrace/garden where, in addition to stunning views of

the sea, there are numerous exotic plants, corners for relaxing and an outdoor dining area. The villa is
