Villa Tripalo
Villa Tripalo is a Secessionist building dating back to the 1920 s, situated in a quiet corner less than 100 metres from the main square (Pijaca) in Sinj, occupying a site covering more than 4000 m2.The villa is a memorial to the croatian politician Ante Miko Tripalo, the leader of the “Croatian Spring” movement, whose bust stands on the entrance.
Villa Tripalo is a protected cultural monument.
The spacious park is walled, and the entrance to the house is on the north side, through the gateway fitted with original, wrought iron gates. The roof has been restored to its original condition and the facade renewed according to the original, in terms of both the colour and quality of the plaster used, and the decorations.The each porch has a typical double-winged staircase and two balconies with decorative concrete balustrades. These balustrades and the glazed veranda give the villa its country house character.The interior has been decorated throughout with geometric patterns and the motifs from the plant world, which were rediscovered during restoration work, and implemented in order to reconstruct the original appearance of the rooms as far as possible.
Villa Tripalo is characterised by period woodwork, particularly the external and internal door- frames, with brass features, decorative carvings and panels in the Secessionist style.The wrought iron features of the house are also all original, including the outer gates and basement window grilles.The villa has been furnished with period pieces and top quality Baroque and Empire style furniture, finished with carefully chosen textiles. The final touch is given by the carefully selected period tableware and light fixtures.
Villa Tripalo is a two -storey building consisting of a basement and raised ground floor. Each floor covers 175m2. The original aspect of the house meant it was built around a central corridor running from east to west, linking the porch on the east side with the glazed veranda on the west side. There are three well-appointed rooms to the north and south of the corridor.
Today, each has its own dressing-room and bathroom. The living area occupies the most favourable, southwest section of the house. Distinguished visitors to this Secessionist villa can enjoy the additional benefits of modern times such as air- conditioning in all rooms, satellite TV in the salon and bedrooms, a home cinema, coffee machines and other equipment and technical specifications.The kitchen and study are fully equipped. The sauna, gym, massage room and billiard room are located in the basement, along with the all-important wine cellar, which occupies what used to be a secret room in the cellar. There is a restored decorative arbour in the north section, once used to house small animals, while the original single-storey outbuilding, formerly used to store garden tools, has been transformed into a comfortable guest house and swimming pool, with all modern conveniences.
