Kalliroi’s backdrop is Kalon Oros. From the patios and pool area, there are breathtaking views across the valley to the hillside villages and the mountains of Aghia Dinati. It is a ten-minute drive to the village of Aghia Efimia or the magnificent Myrtos Bay. Influenced by a need to be surrounded by natural elements, Kalliroi possesses immense charm, serving as a rural retreat inspired by the Greek landscape and countryside.
Recently, this idyll was merely a hillside and Dionysia's conceptual vision. As owner and designer, she has created a tranquil environment with the assistance of like-minded individuals, surrounding it with natural elements, soft tones, subdued shades, and natural materials. There is an emphasis on ensuring everything appears intrinsic to the location, avoiding any sense of contrivance. The property exudes natural comfort and elegance, a style rooted in tradition and respect. It embodies not a set of rules or statements but rather a pervasive feeling.
Characterised by local craftsmanship, lime wash is applied to all internal and external walls. The kitchen is bespoke, as is the bed; the shower room is unique, while the lounge offers perfect relaxation. Constructed similarly to a well-prepared meal, each element has been carefully selected, valued for its own sake, and thoughtfully integrated to create a pleasing overall experience. Kalliroi provides a peaceful sanctuary, a refuge for the discerning traveller who experiences instant joy and satisfaction upon arrival.
Double wooden entrance doors lead to the open-plan kitchen/dining area. The kitchen features bespoke wooden worktops, units finished with Farrow & Ball paint, a ‘Belfast’ style sink, full-sized cooker with feature extractor hood, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, and ample drawer and cupboard space. The hand-finished dining table and chairs, along with aspect lighting, complete the look. The open-plan lounge, featuring comfortable seating and lighting, has two sets of double doors accessing the bedroom patio on the left and the lounge patio at the front. Both patios are marble tiled, with the lounge patio fully furnished and equipped with a distinctive polished concrete table comfortable for up to four and large parasol.
The double bedroom includes a handmade bed and feature wardrobe, with double doors leading to the patio, which features seating and a simple iron pergola. The shower room, adorned with pastel shades and hand-finished walls, encompasses a spacious shower area.
The property is air-conditioned throughout.
Beneath the patio areas, a basement with separate entrance door has been created for storage and additional utility. This thoughtfully designed space provides guests with essential amenities including a washing machine, dryer, and ironing facilities, ensuring a convenient and comfortable stay.
Sweeping steps from the patios lead down to the pool area. The pool, tiled with Rosa Gres in distinctive greys, measures 8m x 5m with a maximum depth of 1.5m. It is quite spectacular, especially with its underwater lighting in the evening. Non-slip marble tiles surround the pool area, which includes cushioned wooden loungers, a large parasol, and a unique outdoor shower.
The house is situated on approximately 3000 sq. m. of private grounds with gated access. The paved area immediately to the front of Kalliroi ensures easy access. The large Mediterranean-themed garden at the front of the property is primarily planted with roses and other complementary plants. The extensive terraced grounds below the pool patio area feature old olive trees, supplemented with additional plantings. This area's development will include complementary plants interspersed with gravel pathways and hidden areas for relaxation.
