About this property

Artist's Retreat: Beautiful Tranquil Villa With Spectacular Sea Views

Peacefully and ideally situated on the outskirts of the village of Kypseli, only a ten-minute drive from the town and port of Aigina, this 4-bedroom property offers stunning views of the sea, sunsets, and nearby islands.

Borrowing from the rustic character and tradition of country houses in the south of France, the property makes an ideal 'artist's' house. Designed and built by Greek film and theatre director Stelios Pavlides, its calm tranquility offers the perfect place to finish your novel... or simply melt away the stresses of everyday life. Terraces on both sides of the house maximize sun exposure, while privacy is assured by the surrounding garden, fruit trees, and vineyard . The front terrace and yard also feature a barbecue and plenty of seating for meals, while the side lot provides parking spaces for 3 cars. Unfortunately the palm tree on the front porch seen in the photos has died from a palm beetle imported alongside palmtrees brought for the Olympics in 2004.

The ground floor contains four spacious double bedrooms, two at each end of the house; each end also has its own bathroom with bathtub. A large, connected space in-between contains a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room with a large natural fireplace.

The basement, which includes a library and TV room, also comfortably sleeps three (ideal for friends and older children).

Fully equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, air-conditioning, fans, toaster, coffee-maker, hair-dryer, some freezer space, fridge, TV, telephone landline (incoming only), and Internet connection.

Local amenities: 5 minutes by car from the sea, and from an excellent supermarket. 2-minute car drive or 15-minute walk from the village of Kypseli. Hospital, health centre, beaches, tavernas, and shopping all within a 10-minute drive. Please view the exact location on this map:

A note on wildlife: like many places in Greece, the area surrounding the house is home to a number of stray cats who will tend to come investigate when humans are in the house.

Please note that we do not allow any of the cats in the area to enter the house, though we will often feed them (away from the doors) when we're there.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra Pavlidou

Host profile image
My father, Stelios Pavlides, was a Greek film and theater director. In love with the island of Aigina, he bought the land in 1990, and, as most artists do, built it the way he had imagined it. Simple, comfortable, rustic with character and facing the sea.

Why they chose this property

It is very easy to access yet at the same time quite isolated because it is at the very end of a dirt road. It is quiet, safe for kids (no danger of cars driving by) with a stunning view.

What makes this property unique

The unobstructed view of the sea from the main terrace and from most rooms makes us, the owners, prefer it to any other spot in Aigina. As a result we often prefer to stretch out on the terrace with a good book listening to music, instead of going to the beach... but sometimes we do that too!

Afternoon drinks with the unparalleled view right at our feet, followed later by dinner on the terrace with friends, board games, and heated discussions long into the night—interrupted for a warm moment of silence as the sun majestically sets—is often more attractive to us than going out to the best restaurant or bars. (But, of course, we sometimes do that too.)

Bottom line: it's a home, more than just a place to stay while on vacation. The sunset is fabulous!!!
