Colorful Mediterranean houses are stacked along a steep hillside overlooking a deep blue sea. The architecture features a blend of warm tones, with a prominent dome and tower standing out against the vibrant buildings. Lush greenery contrasts with the rugged cliffs in the background.

A cozy dining setting with a glass of rosé wine, surrounded by tall wine glasses on a wooden table. Beside it, a small vase holds vibrant flowers. A plate with bread slices, a greenish fruit, and a bowl of dark balsamic with olive oil sits nearby. In the background, a small fire burns, adding warmth to the atmosphere.
