Villa Bella Vista is an exceptionally unique and truly beautiful estate that cannot be aptly described by words, but only experienced in person. Below is a humble attempt to summarize the villa’s characteristics.
The villa is located in the eastern Peloponnese, province of Argolida, a few kilometers west of cosmopolitan Porto Heli. The 4,000 m2 estate rests on a hill overlooking the sea, with a fantastic view of the Argolic gulf as well as the setting sun.
In the immediate surrounding area you will find several beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. A little further down the road you will encounter the Cosmopolitan port of Porto Heli, where you can find everything from luxurious restaurants to traditional taverns, shops, cafés, night clubs, as well as all sorts of water-sport activities. Venturing a little further you will come across small picturesque fishing villages, neoclassical stone-wall towns, and ports which you can use for daily trips to several small Greek islands.
This Peloponnese corner apart from natural beauty, is one of the most dense provinces in terms of archaeological and historical interest, boasting the ancient ruins of Mycene, Tyrinth, and Corinth; the ancient cave of Frachthi first inhabited in 40,000BC, the beautiful castle-fort of Nafplion (Greece’s first capital city), and of course the world-renown ancient theater of Epidavros, where you can enjoy theatrical performances to this day in the summer night air. All this intertwined with marvelous coastal landscapes, beaches, hills, and lakes of extraordinary beauty.
The 450 m2 villa sits on the lush green vegetation of the beautiful & vast garden, overlooking the mesmerizing twinkling blue of the sea. The amazing gardens are perfect for slow strolls whilst enjoying the fragrance of summer flowers, or vivid hide-and-go-seek games for children -as well as adults. There is even a miniature stone theater for makeshift plays, or just lounging on the tiers.
The true uniqueness however comes when walking through the main door of villa Bella Vista. The immediately obvious artistry & creativity in every corner and detail is hard to put into words. Meticulous care & thought concerning function and especially form, has been put into everything around you. The villa owners cared not about cost and challenges when building the villa, and poured their hearts and souls into transcending their dream from mind to matter.
After passing by the stunning museum-esque stone & marble vestibule, you find the indoor dining area with a large rustic wooden dining table. Further on through the wooden beams, the large living room opens up with style and light pouring in the large windows. The glass-ceiling kitchen to the left is fully equipped and bright-as-day. Straight ahead, the patio leads to the large swimming pool & pergola/gazebo complete with bar, BBQ, and dining table. All this of course while gazing at the glistening waters of the Argolic gulf.
The bedrooms, each with its own very distinctive character, style and layout, are something out of a film. Each creates a very different atmosphere, and all have a very unique charm. The extra-large Master bedroom is privately located in the main building. The second largest bedroom stands alone near the swimming pool with its own veranda overlooking both the pool and the sea. The remaining 4 bedrooms are located in a separate building next to each other, but are far apart in personality. What they do share is wonderful views of the gardens and sea. All bedrooms have their own private bathrooms - which of course do not escape the eccentric personality makeover of the rest of the estate.
So much more can be said of this uniquely beautiful estate, but only a first-hand visit will do it justice. The one sure thing is that everyone from families to couples, explorers to loungers, children to pensioners, will be amazed when arriving, and planning to their return-trip when departing.
