Majorca is, quite simply, a paradisiacal island. Discover the secret, hidden side to the island, where private houses quietly exist behind thick walls of olive trees, protected from curious gazes of tourists. This is the side of Majorca only seen by the privileged few who live there, who have the luxury to enjoy, every day, not only the lush scenery but also the rich Majorcan culture and sumptuous cuisine (which you can test for yourself thanks to the house owners' favorite recipes we've included in the book.) The island, located near Ibiza off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, is the sort of place dreams are made of. Only a lucky few have turned such a dream into reality, and Country Houses of Majorca is your chance to see the stunning evidence in pictures. The 220 photographs highlight the island's most impressive houses, including many not revealed to the public eye until now. Among these treasures you'll find Frederic Chopin and George Sand's one-time winter hideaway, a tiny fisherman's cottage miraculously perched on the island's southeast cliffs, and the beautiful, old, antique-filled ""fincas"" restored by Nona von Haeften and her husband, Wolfgang Siegfried Wagner, great grandson of composer Richard Wagner. Let yourself be seduced by the country houses of Majorca- you won't regret the experience, even if it sends you into fits of envy...

In a corner, bathed in the famous \"sfumato,\" a timeless still life consisting of a picture of the Virgin and a kitschy infant Jesus. Barbara Stoeltie writes consummately on the landscape and its inhabitants, on the hermitage in a hidden river valley near Arezzo, the \"fattoria\" with its award-winning wine, the palazzo in the moon-like landscape of Siennese Crete and the Renaissance villa near Sienna, formerly the country home of the Chigi family. She also managed to entice from the owners of these houses their favourite recipes for classic Tuscan dishes such as \"fagioli\" or \"ribollita,\" wholesome food that is quick and easy to prepare. A tempting invitation to rediscover Tuscany!

Barbara Stoeltie, geboren 1944, hat Kunst und Kunstgeschichte studiert und ist als Kunstkritikerin sowie Autorin zahlreicher Bücher und Artikel zur Inneneinrichtung tätig. René Stoeltie, geboren 1957, arbeitet als Inneneinrichter und Fotograf, dessen Werke in angesehenen Magazinen wie The World of Interiors und House and Garden veröffentlicht werden. Beide sind ständige Mitarbeiter der Zeitschrift Architektur & Wohnen. Die Autoren präsentieren eine Vielzahl von Wohnräumen, darunter ein holländisches Herrenhaus im 18. Jahrhundert-Stil, ein restauriertes provenzalisches Fischerhaus des Designers Frédéric Méchiche und ein luxuriös gestaltetes Wohnhaus der 1920er Jahre in Connecticut von John Saladino. Sie öffnen die Türen zu einer eleganten, ländlich-schlichten Wohnwelt, die vom Charme vergangener Epochen inspiriert ist und im Gegensatz zum modernen Trend des „Trendy“-Einrichtens steht. Die Gestaltung einer klassischen Wohnkultur kennt keine Grenzen, und oft genügen einfache Funde vom Flohmarkt oder raffinierte optische Effekte, um einen Hauch von Patina zu erzeugen. Lassen Sie sich von dem kenntnisreich geschriebenen Text und den atmosphärischen Farbaufnahmen inspirieren. Ein umfangreicher Bezugsadressenteil ermutigt dazu, die neuen Ideen sofort umzusetzen!

Stil ist nicht an eine bestimmte Epoche gebunden. Stil bedeutet nichts anderes als guter Geschmack. Und: seine Umgebung stilvoll zu gestalten ist eine Kunst, die man erlernen kann. Wie wirkt ein kleiner Raum größer? Warum kann falsches Licht den Gesamteindruck beeinträchtigen? Welche Möbel passen zusammen? Einer der größten Meister auf dem Gebiet der Architektur und des kunstvollen Design ist der Amerikaner John Saladino. Saladinos Gestaltungsideen basieren auf einem Dreiklang: Er liebt die Romantik, ließ sich schon früh von der antiken Baukunst faszinieren und lobt den modernen Minimalismus. Dabei gilt seine ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit den Innenräumen ebenso wie den Außenanlagen, denn unsere Umgebung, so Saladino, übt eine unglaubliche Macht auf unsere Sinne aus. Das unverwechselbare Gespür dieses ambitionierten Ästheten unterstreichen die stimmungsvollen Fotografien von Barbara und René Stoeltie.
