Odele

Set on a hillside overlooking the eastern coastline of Serifos, Odele comprises three independent residences arranged across a 6,000 sqm (64,583 sq.ft.) plot. The property faces the open Aegean and neighbouring Cycladic islands, occupying a position defined by wide sea views, natural elevation and a strong connection to the island’s rugged terrain.

The architecture follows the traditional language of Serifos, combining whitewashed volumes, local stone and timber detailing in a composition that sits naturally within the landscape. Positioned at different points along the slope, the residences are arranged to preserve both privacy and uninterrupted views, while allowing the property to function as a cohesive whole.

Together, the houses provide 274 sqm (2,949 sq.ft.) of living space. The interiors are understated and closely connected to the character of the island, with a restrained palette of stone, plaster and timber creating a calm and timeless atmosphere throughout. Living areas open directly towards the sea through large openings that frame the surrounding landscape, while the orientation allows natural light to move gradually through the interiors from early morning onwards.

The seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms are distributed across the three residences, creating flexibility for use as a private family compound or a hospitality-led retreat. Many of the bedrooms open directly onto terraces or outdoor spaces facing the sea and surrounding hills, reinforcing the relationship between the accommodation and the landscape beyond.

Outdoor areas unfold naturally across the slope, creating a sequence of terraces and gathering spaces connected by the topography of the site. The elevated position captures constant airflow during the summer months, while the arrangement of the buildings provides shelter and privacy without compromising the views. At the centre of the property, the pool terrace extends towards the horizon, taking full advantage of the open outlook across the Aegean.

Kentarchos Beach lies less than one kilometre away, while Chora remains a short drive from the property. Despite this accessibility, the setting retains a distinctly secluded character, surrounded by the raw landscape and open horizons that define this part of Serifos.

Odele is shaped by the qualities that have long distinguished the Cyclades: simplicity, orientation and a close relationship with the land. From its elevated position, the property looks across an ever-changing landscape of sea, sky and hillside, where the first light of the day arrives uninterrupted from the eastern horizon.
