A majestic estate on the beach

Like other mythical beauties, Yria too, seems to have been washed up on the shore. The ride to the villa on the coastal road through small touristy fishing villages will not prepare you for the magnificent sense of arrival once you enter the property's gate. Opening up in front of you is a spacious beachfront 4.5-acre estate embracing the main building, a chic aristocratic house of the Sixties, and three newly built, top- notch suites.The pool, mediating between the front patio and the beach seems like a natural extension of the sea. An unusually large Mediterranean garden further highlights this scenery and secludes the estate guaranteeing for privacy, shade and wonderful summery aromas. The location of the villa also lends itself to a number of worthwhile excursions like the historical city of Nafplion, the ancient theater of Epidavros and the picturesque islands of Hydra and Spetses.

This villa has a postmodern glamour in that it combines the stylish retro décor of its main building with the cutting edge contemporary aesthetics of its newly added suites. The Californian-style estate with its floor-to-ceiling windows is gracefully stylized with beautiful furniture, paintings and objects of art which evoke a rather intellectual ambience. There is a fluid transition between the interior and exterior living spaces, with the pool area opening up right in front, complemented by an impressive gazebo for unforgettable lounging. If you are looking for a villa that gives you immediate access to a sandy beach, a wonderful pool and a magical garden, this is your hiding place.
