Terracotta Aegean

Terracotta Aegean: Rhodes

Nestled amongst the olive groves, this terracotta-hued villa offers impressive views across the rocky landscape that drop down to the Ionian, sea-forming coves and the rockpools of Kallithea. With undulating greenscape views, enjoy tranquil moments amidst the fauna and flora that fragrances your luscious garden. With a pristine pool and a bright traditional living space, this Rhodian villa ticks all the boxes for a coastal retreat.

With prime Greek temperatures, it’s not surprising this home promotes outdoor living. This home has a crystalline freeform pool for cooling dips, sleek daybeds for siestas under the shade of the olive trees and a sun-dappled patio that features a marble dining table and a natural stone bench designed by your host – perfect for balmy, alfresco dinners.

When you need a repose from the sun, retreat to the inside, where you’ll find an oasis of amenities. The traditional design aesthetic blends with minimal modern comforts, creating a laid-back energy that synchronises with the region’s coastal spirit. This house feels calm and homey in equal measure – soft colour palettes, thoughtful European artworks and wood furnishings crafted by local carpenters, including a Saridis-designed wardrobe – sit harmoniously against a backdrop of original features. The L-shaped sofa is a perfect spot to read or listen to a podcast, whilst the dynamic kitchen is a delight to prepare Rhodian classics in – try your hand at Gemista, a fragrant dish of meat and rice-stuffed peppers.

If you want to get out and explore, beeline for Kokkini Beach Kallithea to admire the island’s crystal waters and natural rockpools (only a fifteen-minute drive away) before dining in one of the cove-formed tavernas serving an array of locally-caught seafood.
