Designtripper

I just got back from Mexico, where my family and I spent the past week hanging out in the beautiful, laid-back, bougainvillea-strewn surf town of Sayulita. I was on assignment for CS and LA Interiors, writing a travel piece pegged to Chicago designer Patrizio Fradiani’s new thatched roof vacation home (an impulse buy he spent the last year renovating after falling in love with the town). I can’t say a lot about it until the story comes out (and I can post a full reveal), but here’s a sneak peek of the place in the meantime. Let me assure you: it is a complete fantasy. Flowers everywhere, pool surrounded by palm trees, rooftop soaking tub with a pinch-me view of the mountainous coast and sparkling ocean. And if you’ve seen Patrizio’s Tuscan farmhouse, then you can imagine the thoughtfulness, care and detail he applies to the interior.

The Details
For a four bedroom spread that spans two separate buildings (attached by a rooftop bridge), two pools, an outdoor shower and the perfect location on top of a hill full of spectacular views in every direction, Casa dos Chicos is reasonably priced. High season: $2,750 per week.
