Fig & Grape

Fig & Grape: Thessaly

In the warm waters of the Aegean sea, Alonissos plays host to gorgeous beaches, ancient historical sites, and the vibrant port town of Patitiri. From here, you could board a catamaran to start an island-hopping tour of the Aegean, or you could take an eleven-minute drive to this utterly blissful villa.

Isolated from urban areas, this home really plays into the charming serenity of its surroundings. Set over two floors, this bright white villa looks traditional from the outside. Sandwiched between blue skies above and the blue waters of your private freshwater pool below, the exterior colour scheme might remind you of a certain national flag. This Greek theme continues with olive trees and a welcome basket full of local wine and fresh fruits. Pour a glass to sip as you explore the grounds, passing below the shaded dining terrace and into the minimalist interiors.

Wooden ceilings with white painted beams mix traditional architecture with a fresh, modern colour scheme. This continues throughout the kitchen, living spaces, and upstairs into the elegant bedrooms. With open ensuites and views of leafy trees, you’ll love relaxing in these zen-like spaces after a long day out in the sun.
