Olea Europaea Kalamitsi, Epirus

Property Description

Greece’s Ionian islands present a vast landscape of striking coastal scenes, bustling port towns, and dramatic cliffs, all joined together by networks of bridges and ferry routes. Stop over for a bowl of juicy olives and local wine at a kerbside taverna in Preveza, on the Ambracian Gulf. This sunny community offers a wealth of fantastic cuisine and postcard-ready spots – a traditional vibe only an eight-minute drive from the contrast of this fabulously modern villa.

In the idyllic surroundings of a half-acre private olive grove, this home sits right on the land and sea. This tall, angular villa steers away from typical design, taking on modern elements like glass balconies and a stylish concrete pool terrace. As you meander up to the entrance, it’s hard to choose where to look between breathtaking views of the Ionian Se, or the rolling fields of Greece’s finest export.

Pour yourself a glass of something chilled as you admire the natural colours of the interiors – think stony greys and browns, cream, and wooden elements. Floor-to-ceiling windows and those aforementioned infinity balconies let the sunlight beam in. We recommend perching up here to survey your kingdom below – is a pool, barbecue, outdoor lounge, and dining terrace enough to keep you busy?
