K Bell Villa In Tapia Methoni, West Peloponnese

When one reaches the top of a hill, instinctively begins to observe everything around from a position of power, from above. Ιn this wonderful location however, the beauty of the landscape is so shocking that you don’t just observe, but without a second thought, you accept the challenge to admire everything around you (360 degrees). Wonderful green hills with wild vegetation or rich olive trees, neighborhoods with beautiful houses, the wonderful coastal, historical and traditional settlement of Methoni with the wonderful Venetian castle, the sea from which the rocky islands of Schiza and Sapienza rise and in the background the horizon, where the sun falls and the sky is getting painted with bursts of color. A ”victim” of this landscape, the well-travelled architect - owner of this residence, was inspired, set up and shaped his own setting, his own space, creating his personal touch on this landscape. When he bought it, the house was under construction, only the frame was completed. He redesigned the floor plans, selected materials, built and decorated the interior and exterior spaces with his personal special and inspired aesthetic, a result of a multicultural mix, without offending the traditional architectural scales and rules of the area. A special house, with strong character, top quality, beautiful, warm and welcoming with all modern comforts … in a wonderful location
