INTRODUCTION

The proposal on the hills close to Pissouri village, in an area famous for growing grapes, is an exclusive develop-ment of contemporary villas on large landscaped plots set in a breathtaking hillside location with panoramic sea views overlooking the ancient village of Pissouri and only a few kilometers from the famous Aphrodite’s Rock.

The elevated position affords a refreshing climate above the dense coastal summer humidity. Some 340 days of sunshine a year make for long, easy summers and amiable winters.

Each villa will be unique but consistent and harmonious within the contemporary design scheme, creating a collec-tion of light and spacious homes that will blend perfectly within the natural environment. Indoor and outdoor spaces will be seamlessly integrated to facilitate a truly authentic Mediterranean style of living.

The villas will be carefully located so that residents will en-joy epic views of the sea and surrounding countryside whilst providing maximum personal privacy.

THE CONCEPT

The development will create an environment for those who desire a modern lifestyle in a setting of fine craftsmanship and elegant detail.

The design maximizes the development potential of the site by locating the bespoke villas with a distinct sense of iden-tity, strong elevational treatment and landscaping and takes full advantage of the site contours to create innovative and contemporary floor plans with distinctive exteriors that will provide a unique lifestyle for comfortable living.

The development is designed to maximize space, privacy and comfort. The grounds of each villa will be beautifully landscaped and spacious allowing life to be spent in the sun. Outdoor and indoor spaces will flow seamlessly from one to another in order to achieve the relaxed Mediterra-nean lifestyle that is elusive to those from colder climes.

Outdoor living spaces for each villa will include generous shaded terraces and large stonework barbeques. Semi-mature fruit trees such as lemon, orange, olive, almond, fig and pomegranate will be incorporated into the overall landscaping scheme.

The development will provide a selection of 3-5 bedroom villas together with a number of apartments around the cen-

ing. A high speed internet connection will also be available.

The larger villas will provide additional space on their lower ground floors that can be utilized in a multitude of ways including state-of-the-art home cinema, climate controlled wine cellar or a well-equipped gym.
