Villa MurrayGreece, Cyclades, Paros

The 4 bedroom villa is surrounded by a stone-made wall that defines a generous courtyard dotted with vineyards, trees and wildflowers. The main house and two guest houses are surrounded by terraces equipped with comfortable lounge and dining settings that enjoy views of the gardens. The swimming pool, a rectangle carved into the ground and naturally protected by flowers and shrubs, offers a great spot to wind down and catch some tan away from the summer frenzy of the public beaches.

The main house is built in two levels and pierced by large windows that invite the landscape in. At the ground level, there is a comfortable living room lovingly decorated with books and artifacts gathered from around the world. The adjacent kitchen, fully equipped for family dinners, is adjacent to the outdoor dining area. The bedrooms are discreetly ornamented to create a soothing vibe, allowing the landscape to dominate the décor. The lower floor bedroom opens to a shaded terrace that leads to the swimming pool. At the upper floor, the bedroom opens to a private terrace with uninterrupted views that extend all the way to the sea. The guest houses are cosy and welcoming, decorated minimally and fitted with large windows that enjoy views of the surrounding nature.
