Un Rifugio Tra Gli Alberi

Surrounded by its own private olive garden and only 280 metres from the sea, this 171 sq.m. villa is set in the heart of the peaceful coastal village of Drios, near Golden Beach. Defined by its distinctive, refined architecture and excellent condition, the villa offers a refreshing alternative to more conventional rectangular forms.

Beyond its striking design, the property is a true sanctuary, filled with warmth, privacy, and character. From the moment you step through the gates, the villa creates an immediate sense of calm and belonging, enveloping you in the feeling of being at home.

A gated entrance opens onto a stone pathway that winds through the garden towards the private parking area. The residence is surrounded by a Mediterranean oasis filled with oleander, jasmine, bougainvillea, three frangipani trees and a jacaranda tree with beautiful blue blossoms.

A few steps lead to the main terrace and the new 4 × 2-metre swimming pool, completed in September 2026 and framed by a custom-built solid-wood deck. Shaded sitting areas, together with an outdoor dining and barbecue space, create an inviting setting for relaxed summer days and cocktails by the pool. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is set beneath a mature carob tree.

The residence extends across two levels, offering 171 sq.m. of interior space. The ground floor features a comfortable living room with a fireplace, a kitchen and dining area, as well as one bedroom and a bathroom. Natural materials, including wooden details and marble flooring, contribute to the home’s warm and timeless atmosphere.

The upper floor includes two further bedrooms and a shared bathroom. One bedroom opens onto two balconies, while the other enjoys a large private terrace with a sitting area and direct sea views.

Built in 2005 and renovated in 2026, the property is fully equipped for every season, with air-conditioning units and infrared heating panels in every room, as well as an energy-efficient fireplace. Additional features include double-glazed wooden window frames, insect screens, a solar water heater, electrical appliances and a storage area.

The 532 sq.m. plot is within walking distance of the sea, traditional tavernas, restaurants, cafés, a supermarket and the local church. With its private olive garden, inviting outdoor spaces and proximity to everyday amenities, this is a welcoming island home suited to both summer stays and comfortable year-round living.
