Pretend you're a merchant on the silk road, learn about the lost art of jewellery wax molding, dine on the handmade mosaic table designed by Olivia's mum, lose yourself in a novel on the leather couch underneath the Indigenous artwork, soak yourself in our turkish bath, cook a pasta in our Naples inspired kitchen, or work away in the quiet ottoman office. In the morning, brew a coffee in the Florence stovetop pot and soak in the sun coming through the Melbourne trees.
The space
Cleopatra's Villa is the home of Olivia and Alex. Every corner has been designed to inspire creativity and bring calmness. From the stunning leather couch to the ottoman empire armchairs and handmade mosaic dining table, you'll find everything you need for a stay that you will remember.
So come on a journey, enjoy Melbourne with us, and learn about worlds colliding as we throw together the iconic cities of Istanbul, Naples, Florence, Paris and Melbourne in our home.
Only a 35-minute one-tram ride to the Australian Open/MCG, but after, escape to peace after play.
