Fun Villa Facts
Aquarium Glass
The windows in the main bedroom overlook the swimming pool. The glass was installed by the Curacao Aquarium. Never fear, the glass is 6 inches thick!
Designing the Villa
By Curacao law, all structures need to be inset 20 meters from the sea. The pool was designed by measuring exactly 20 meters from the cliff line and south property line making its unique ship-like shape.
Dutch Ship’s Kettle
For the rolling waves that you see in the bay you need stable square kettles for the sailors that do not tip over. On the top of the kitchen cupboard are a collection of 19th century ship kettles.
Ming Dynasty
The Ming dynasty plates lining the walls are 200 years old and the Japanese prints are from circa. 1850. Enjoy - carefully :)
Dutch Trading Ship
Circa 1725 year old plate with Dutch ship motif. Ships like these would have crossed the Atlantic to trade with the Dutch Kingdom. You would have seen them from the Cliff Villa deck.
Just imagine!
The Rock
The bath, kitchen and guest WC sink are all carved out of solid rock. Crazy heavy and crazy beautiful.
