Project: Palazzo Margherita Bernalda Restoration Elements used: Encaustic Tiles, Antique Limestone, antique stone fountain, antique stone fireplace. Discover the cuisine, wines and history of the Basilicata region at the luxurious Palazzo Margherita. Set in the village of Bernalda, the well-preserved villa is close to the region’s white-sand beaches and the famed Sassi caves. The property was recently renovated by the Coppola family with decorator Jacques Grange, imbuing its luxurious traditional interiors with modern style. Start each day of your stay with an included breakfast, then head out to read in the courtyard garden, lounge under an umbrella on the terrace by the pool or sip a mimosa at the al-fresco bar. Have dinner at one of the outdoor tables, then finish the evening in the media room. The property also has its own restaurant and bar, which are open to the public but separate from the house. Traditional architecture, lush gardens and a few modern furnishings give the villa the feel of a grand old estate brought back to life. In the media room, a vaulted ceiling with ornate moldings speaks to the home’s past, while striped wallpaper in neutral tones is a subtly contemporary touch. The eat-in kitchen has a dramatically arched Kronos stone ceiling and a long, welcoming table with bistro-style chairs. The nine suite-style bedrooms are each decorated with their own scheme and each have en-suite bathrooms, creating private retreats within the palazzo. There are three bedrooms with queen beds on the garden level; all three have garden access and one has a sitting area. Upstairs, there are six bedrooms with king beds, all of which have access to either a Juliet balcony, private balcony or furnished terrace. From Palazzo Margherita’s location in Bernalda, it’s a 20-minute drive to several white-sand beaches on the Ionian Sea. Photos courtesy of Luxury Retreats, Barbados.

This spacious kitchen was ready for a refresh. Over time, it’s many cabinets had become cluttered with unnecessary items. We began by removing the peninsula’s upper and lower cabinets, which had divided the space in two, along with the small island that once housed the cooktop. In their place, we introduced a large central island that now serves as a multifunctional hub—for prep, serving, and casual dining—while dramatically improving the kitchen’s traffic flow. To create a true focal point, we added an elegant arch that mirrors the architectural arches found throughout the home. It feels like it was always meant to be there. Beneath it, we installed the range, now beautifully highlighted by a custom plaster hood that ties in the island’s dark gray accent color. The new island is as functional as it is beautiful. Its curved countertop and reeded base soften the overall aesthetic, adding warmth and texture to the space. The panel-ready refrigerator and freezer are centered between two cabinet-on-counter hutches. These hutches cleverly conceal small appliances, keeping them both accessible and out of sight. Thanks to pocket doors, they can remain open during use and closed for a clean, “company-ready” look at any time.
