Authentic architecture meets contemporary chic in this small but perfectly formed Karpathos villa. One of a handful of exclusive homes in a small complex, it stands on the rocky island slopes and offers simply stunning panoramic views of the bluest of seas. In fact, the line where your private infinity pool ends and the background of the Aegean begins can play tricks on the eye. And here, in this quiet and calm retreat, staring out to sea will be one of your main pastimes. The stucco facade and all-white interior are crisp and cutting edge, with glass safety rails both outside to provide uninterrupted views from the terrace and inside up the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom. Stylish and minimal, there's an open-plan space with a kitchenette, lounge and breakfast bar, where comfy sofa beds provide not only a cosy spot to read away from the sun but also some flexible options when it comes to family accommodation. The feeling here is one of serenity, with all eyes on the view, but when you're tired of relaxing on your sun loungers or swimming in your gorgeous pool, the island is your oyster. The nearest beach and the nearest taverna are... just steps away, while the charming fishing village of Finiki is a few minutes by car.
