Villa Artia - Subtle elegance in a seaside village

VILLA ARTIA: A SANCTUARY OF ELEGANCE & SERENITY IN COASTAL ARCADIA

Perfectly anchored in the picturesque seaside village of Xiropigado, Villa Artia is a masterfully designed, 159 m² luxury maisonette that redefines coastal living. Set within an expansive 800 m² private estate, this residence seamlessly blends high-end functionality with the untamed beauty of the Peloponnese. Designed with natural materials and warm, earthy tones, the villa integrates harmoniously into its environment, offering affluent families an exclusive retreat where the deep blue of the Aegean meets the emerald slopes of Arcadia. Here, privacy, mild Mediterranean weather, and uncrowded shores create the ultimate setting for meaningful reconnection.

The Residence & Sophisticated Indoors
Crafted to maximize natural light and capture breathtaking, unobstructed sea views from every corner, the villa’s indoor spaces exude understated luxury:
• Ground Floor: A luminous, open-plan living domain featuring two plush lounge areas, a formal dining space, and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. This level hosts an elegant double bedroom and a full bathroom, ideal for guests seeking step-free accessibility.
• Upper Level: Dedicated to premium rest, the first floor features three beautifully appointed bedrooms. Two sanctuaries boast king-size beds, while the third offers two twin beds—all outfitted with independent climate control, ample wardrobe space, and private balconies overlooking the sea or mountains. Two additional luxury bathrooms serve this level.

Exclusive Outdoor Living
The estate’s outdoor architectural design prioritizes premium thermal comfort, visual harmony, and absolute privacy for your family:
• The Terraces: A grand 50 m² main terrace commands sweeping views of the sea, complemented by a secondary intimate balcony facing the majestic mountains.
• The Pool & Gardens: Immerse yourself in the pristine swimming pool, framed by a sun-drenched patio that preserves three ancient, sculptural olive trees. Next to the water, a curated botanical bed fills the air with the scents of wild mint, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, and rare Taygetus tea.
• Al Fresco Dining: A beautifully landscaped front yard features a traditional wood-burning oven and a premium barbecue setup, perfect for private chef dinners under the stars.

The Destination & Seamless Connectivity
Villa Artia offers the rare luxury of seclusion without isolation. Nestled in the heart of Xiropigado, Villa Artia perfectly balances central convenience with serenity. A 7-minute stroll brings you to the main, organized beach -a Blue Flag winner since 2018- famed for its deep, crystal waters, pebbles, and soft sand. While charming taverns, seafood restaurants, cafes, and markets are just a stone's throw away, the villa remains a peaceful sanctuary. Here, the only summer soundtrack is the cicadas. Xiropigado is a remarkably calm and restorative place to stay.
The estate is a stress-free, two-hour drive from Athens International Airport. By avoiding the hassle of ferry transits, it sets the stage for a seamless entry into Arcadia—a land of dramatic contrasts and rich gastronomy. Within just 45 minutes, the scenery shifts from lacy, unspoiled coastlines and lowland olive groves to alpine landscapes thick with fir, chestnut, and cherry trees, hidden rivers, and some of Greece’s most enchanting traditional stone villages. The local Arcadians are celebrated for their warm hospitality, preserving a refined, small-scale way of life.

A Gateway to Mythical Greece
Situated centrally in the Peloponnese -a region steeped in Homeric mythology, UNESCO World Heritage monuments, and imposing castles- Villa Artia serves as your private launchpad for iconic day trips:
• Nafplio (Short drive): The cosmopolitan first capital of modern Greece, famous for its Venetian neoclassicism and elite dining.
• Epidaurus & Mycenae (Short drive): The ancient, acoustically perfect theater of Epidaurus and the legendary "multi-gold" kingdom of the Atreides.
• Ancient Olympia & Mystras (Day trips): The sacred birthplace of the Olympic Games, and the breathtaking Byzantine castle-state of Mystras, which can be combined with a magical boat ride through the subterranean white stalactites of the Diros Caves.
