Villa Elare

High in the hills above Sivota Bay, Villa Elare is cradled in olive groves, with views that sweep across the Ionian and stretch all the way to the horizon. It’s a home designed to embrace the spirit of summer, light, open, and connected to the land and sea around it. From the moment you arrive, there’s a calm rhythm to the space: warm stone underfoot, the scent of pine and rosemary, and the glint of sun on water.

Step through the front door and you’re welcomed into an open-plan living area bathed in natural light. The kitchen, complete with an island and bar stools, flows into the indoor dining space and a relaxed, stylish lounge, all centred around floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slide open to the outside world. Each of the five en-suite bedrooms offers tranquil comfort, while the interiors feature soft neutrals, natural materials, and just a touch of earthy glamour.

But it’s outside where Villa Elare truly sings. An 18-metre infinity pool stretches across the terrace, lined with loungers, sun cushions, and a shaded firepit lounge for unwinding in the evening. From morning coffee to a final glass of wine beneath the stars, this is effortless Greek living at its finest.
