In the last few years, Greece has
been a travel hotspot. A fashionable country renowned
for its beauty and history that is fast becoming
one of the most desirable places to both visit and
to reside, Greece boasts some of the most exclusive
property on the market. Kilada Hills is among the
hottest properties with houses designed, built and
fitted to stun with their cool lines, open spaces
and spectacular views.
Set in the sweeping golden and green
hills of the eastern Peleponnese, just over two
hours drive from Athens, Kilada Hills is the work
of the renowned Greek architect Mark Potiriadis.
Each house has around 4,000 square
feet of living space, and can be personalized to
suit your every whim and fancy. Bespoke design gives
people the freedom to plan the layout just as they
desire. "It expresses our traditions, but is
set firmly in modern times," says Potiriadis.
The houses are set amongst elaborately
landscaped gardens on a gently sloping hillside,
with stunning views encompassing dense pine forests,
shimmering crystal clear blue seas, undulating mountains
and romantic islands. The numerous terraces and
the swimming pool that come with each house provide
the very best viewpoints imaginable. Champagne may
never taste better than when sipped in the early
evening from the edge of an infinity pool in Kilada
Hills, with the fragrances of wild herbs and spices
drifting soothingly through the air. Whilst surveying
the surroundings, one can only be impressed with
the subtlety and elegance employed by the designers.
But Kilada Hills is much more than
a holiday home - residents will receive special
privileges and access to the new 18-hole golf course.
Combined with a tennis academy and a spa, a healthy
lifestyle can be led in the most tranquil of ways.
Of course, all of that relaxation needs to be tempered
by excitement - and what better way to enjoy the
nightlife on the nearby island of Spetses than by
arriving by water taxi. Transport to and from Kilada
Hills is another of its selling points. An alternative
to the spectacular two hour drive to Athens is the
high speed boat service which links the two, and
for those in more of a rush, a private heli-pad
provides access to the ultimate of all transport
- although leaving is probably going to be the last
thing on anyones mind when staying in Kilada
Hills.
Within easy reach, the villages and
towns nearby offer high quality locally produced
food and wine, and in the town of Epidauros, the
ancient amphitheater hosts world famous singers
and orchestras in a landscape dripping with archaeological
treasures.
Kilada Hills is an exclusive development
that marries tradition with contemporary style.
Intimacy in luxury. To live there, the only prerequisite
is a highly refined appreciation of style and elegance,
and the ability to unwind whilst feeling like the
most privileged person in the world.
