Stone Blue

Stone Blue: Aegean South

On the sun-soaked, Cycladic island of Paros, rugged coasts and sandy beaches make seaside towns the most popular spots. Kolimpithres sits at the north, just an eleven-minute walk from the ancient Mycenaean Acropolis. And thanks to its perfect location on the curve of the bay, you can see right across the sapphire waters to the town of Naousa – the same fantastic view as you'll see daily from this elegant home.

Nestled on a hillside with wild shrubbery and native plants, this stone villa blends in beautifully with the surroundings. We love its harmony with nature, where the golden stone represents the sand, and a shimmering outdoor pool represents the Aegean Sea. You’ll love sitting under the shade of the loungers on the terrace, with a bowl of juicy olives and a chilled Greek wine in hand.

As a glorious sunset starts to roll in at dusk, get the barbecue started for dinner. Gathering around the alfresco dining table with a backdrop of orange, pink, and purple hues makes for a truly special evening. And on a rare chilly night, head into the zen, minimalist lounge and light up the wood-burning fire while you have a nightcap.
