The postcard tradition at Orange Tree Villa
5 March 2026
The last guests have left, the sun loungers are put away… and out came the paintbrushes. A quick look behind the scenes of autumn at Orange Tree Villa.

First step: the outside walls. The Dalmatian sun is generous, with holidaymakers and with paint alike. The retaining walls, the entrance staircase and the planters are a brilliant white again, enough to make you squint even with sunglasses on. The plants kindly agreed to pose for the photo.




Let’s be honest: our guests left the house in impeccable condition. Thank you, truly. But a villa is a bit like a linen shirt: it looks better with a quick press every season. We prefer to freshen things up before anyone notices anything at all.
This winter we will work through, one by one, the little remarks from previous guests, slipped into a review, a WhatsApp message or mentioned while handing back the keys. Nothing serious: just the details that make the difference between “very good” and “perfect”. We will tell you how it goes here, with photos.
See you in spring: the house will be ready and the paint fully dry. We promise you won’t go home with a white stripe on your shorts.

Over the winter we will work through, one by one, the little remarks left by previous guests in reviews, WhatsApp messages or at check-out. Nothing serious, just the details that turn “very good” into “perfect”. The house will be ready in spring.
