Villa Circe is an elegant 80 sq. m. two-level retreat, distinguished by its refined stone façade, luxurious furnishings, and curated contemporary amenities, including a private infinity pool.

On the ground floor, a beautifully appointed open-plan space unfolds, where a fully equipped kitchen with premium built-in appliances flows seamlessly into a sophisticated dining and living area, centered around a handcrafted wooden table and plush seating. The living space opens onto a private outdoor patio, where an intimate infinity pool and sun loungers overlook manicured olive groves, creating a serene setting for elevated coastal living.

The principal living salon is set on the upper level, offering an atmosphere of refined comfort and understated elegance. It features a plush corner sofa, an additional sofa bed, and a smart TV, all framed by captivating sea views. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows open onto the penthouse terrace, where an elegant outdoor lounge invites relaxation amid uninterrupted vistas and a gentle, ever-present sea breeze.

Bedroom 1 (ground floor) features 2 twin-size beds (0,90 x 2,00), which can be converted into a king-size bed (1,80x 2,00), with a mattress topper upon request, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The bedroom also features an open closet, mirror and a large window with garden views.
