Glass & Stone

Glass & Stone: Peloponnese

It’s difficult to describe this home without seeming overly enthusiastic – it’s a one-in-a-million property. The glass exterior means that the building doesn’t overwhelm the natural surroundings – it seems as though this home has simply sprung up from the rocky hillside on which it sits.

Inside, smooth concrete floors meet the floor-to-ceiling windows to give a light, earthy vibe. Natural wood tones add warmth, as does the mellow sunlight that streams through. Blackout curtains in the bedroom mean you’ll sleep like a baby, but when you’re ready to start the day you can step straight from bed to the sunny outside space.

This home’s vantage point, and clever design, mean that you benefit from incredible views from almost every angle. Diving into the infinity pool gives you a glorious vista of the beautiful Peleponnese peninsula, while dining in the indoor-outdoor space showcases the lush countryside surroundings.

Situated in the village of Pyla, you’re only five kilometres from the town of Pylos, where you can dine out or shop, and you can be in historic Messenia in under an hour. It’s hard to imagine tearing yourself away from the hammock here though… This is the kind of holiday home you never forget.
