This exclusive development exudes modern elegance with clean lines and a high construction standard. Located just 150 meters from Kalyves Beach, it features six luxury villas offering stunning sea views and expansive terraces designed for privacy and intimacy.
Set on a historic 1,046 m² plot in the village’s heart, the development blends contemporary architecture with the traditional charm of its surroundings. At first glance, it evokes a city-center ambiance, but upon closer inspection, you’ll experience the warmth and familiarity of a close-knit community.
Architecturally, the development is defined by the contrast between the sturdy stone-built ground floors and the upper levels’ lighter, modern white volumes. Privacy is a crucial design element, achieved through careful spatial planning incorporating recessed outdoor areas and large balconies. This creates a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor spaces, with colorful facades and light perforated balcony railings in constant dialogue.
The villas range from 110 to 112 m², offering bright, airy spaces flooded with natural light. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, each residence spans three floors, including a mezzanine. The ground floor houses three bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom, while the other two share a second bathroom. You can access a private patio and a communal 57 m² pool from the hallway shared by Villas Koules, Itzedin, Aptera, and Firka. Villa Fortezza has a private 15 sqm pool, and Villa Gramvousa features a private 19 m² pool.
On the first floor, the open-plan living area leads to three private terraces alongside a modern kitchen and guest WC. A floating staircase ascends to the mezzanine, offering stunning views and access to a fabulous rooftop terrace.
Each villa also includes an 8 m² private storage room beneath the communal pool and a designated parking space with a pergola for shade, conveniently located by the entrance.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
The villas are designed for both style and functionality. The fully furnished kitchens feature high-quality Italian design by STOSA, maximizing comfort and practicality. The bathrooms continue the theme of elegant simplicity, harmonizing with the villas’ overall modern aesthetic.
