More Than a Farmhouse
What began as a simple one-room idea after the pandemic — just a way to better use the green space our family has owned for nearly 40 years — slowly grew into something much more. Over time, it evolved into the warm, lived-in space we now call Villa Shanta.
Named after our mother, Shanthala, the home reflects everything we value as a family — welcoming guests as we would our own family, ensuring everyone is fed well and has thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and creating spaces where celebrations and togetherness feel truly special.
Nestled within our four-and-a-half-acre farm, Villa Shanta is a place where every corner carries a story. Restored family antiques and thoughtfully upcycled pieces sit alongside the unexpected — teak trees growing through the roof, and Avva's old travel trunks finding new life as coffee tables — carrying the soul of earlier times.
As city dwellers ourselves, we understand the quiet joys of open skies and greenery. This shaped how we designed the home — so you're always connected to the outdoors, even from the comfort of the glass-lined living and dining space.
Inspired by our travels as a family, especially with children, we've created a space that balances rustic charm with gentle comfort. It's filled with small, thoughtful details — everything we would look for in a holiday home. It isn't polished or perfect — and that's part of its charm. It's warm, personal, and deeply rooted in its surroundings. More than anything, it's a place to feel at home.
