Mallorca retreat

Its location is breathtaking. Its detailing, rendered in an expert and very tasteful confluence of rich classic and sleek contemporary elements casually thrown throughout the sprawling premises, makes it easily one of Mediterra-nean’s beautifully furbished villas.

There are sumptuous period accents, like art nouveau chandeliers that presage today’s modern designs, even exotic touches such as wicker lounge chairs from the Philippines. The eclectic melding is one of very fine and casual good taste.

For Wolfgang O. Roehr, the man behind the Roehr Group of Companies, this luxe villa’s appeal remains its being an ideal getaway.

This Mallorca retreat, located along the South Spanish area, is a picturesque enclave. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Claudia Schiffer and the Saudi Royal family are next-door neighbors. Mallorca, with its world famous resorts, remains the center of cosmopolitan chic among the Balearic Islands.

The villa sits majestically atop a breathtaking bluff, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It samples Spanish and Moorish design influences with its baked tile roof, aged walls and high ceilings. Overall, it conveys a sensual, rustic charm that is absolutely relaxing. Roehr completed the villa with a crystal blue pool overlooking the sea. The waterfalls add a bucolic touch. The design philosophy is understatedly all about the delicious, leisurely good life.

Looking relaxed and rested Roehr joins his svelte, gorgeous platinum blonde wife Claudia Respal-Roehr, an accomplished interior designer, their one-year-old daughter Luisa and Roehr’s beautiful daughters Caroline, 19, who studies at a university in Germany and Alexandra, 13, in her 8th grade at Mallorca’s International School.
