This villa in the Peloponnese region of Greece is the ideal place to press pause and recharge your batteries. Combining award-winning style with a stunning location and plenty of space, you're sure to fall in love with this elegant home as soon as you arrive.

You won't be surprised to hear that this home has been commended at the Architizer A+Awards as one of the best holiday homes in the world – even from the outside, its design credentials are clear. The minimalist style melts perfectly into the hillside and introduces the sense of harmony that is present throughout. Polished concrete floors meet exposed stone, creating a gorgeous blend of old and new.
