The Frantoio
An editorial showcase for a Tuscan villa retreat — unhurried, warm, cinematic.
The Challenge
The Frantoio sleeps guests in a converted olive press in the Tuscan hills, with private chefs, wine tastings, and yoga on the terrace. Villa websites tend to look like property listings. This one had to feel like the holiday itself — slow, warm, and worth the airfare.
The Solution
We treated the site like a travel magazine feature. Large-format photography with subtle Ken Burns drift, asymmetric layouts with generous whitespace, and Playfair Display headings that give the pages an editorial confidence. Scroll reveals are slow and softly eased — nothing snaps.
Accommodation pages walk through each of the six bedrooms and the Casetta cottage; an experiences section covers the chef services, cooking classes, wine tastings and massage; a lightbox gallery handles the deep image archive without leaving the page.
Key Features
An owner-facing admin area lets the team swap imagery and copy without touching code, with client-side image compression on upload so the site stays fast no matter what gets thrown at it.
Fluid clamp-based typography scales every heading smoothly from phone to ultrawide, and the contact and newsletter forms are wired and ready for the booking pipeline.
