THE EIGHT HILLS

Positioned on the easternmost hill, Villa Thalassa commands views of the Albanian coast. The architecture draws from Corfu's Venetian fortresses—thick stone walls, arched windows with iron grilles, and a central courtyard. The structure appears carved from the hill itself, with weathered stone blending into the rocky outcrop. A cantilevered infinity pool extends toward the sea like a ship's prow.

The interior features exposed stone vaults, reclaimed wood beams, and maritime artifacts. A rooftop terrace provides 360-degree cinematographic views.

Nestled among ancient olive groves, Villa Elia embodies the soul of rural Corfu. The architecture follows the classic Corfiot manor house—symmetrical facade, red-tiled roof, and ochre stone walls. However, the scale is elevated: massive proportions, dramatic entrance portico with Doric columns, and floor-to-ceiling windows framed by centuries-old olive trees.

The pool mimics a natural pond, irregular in shape, surrounded by ancient olive trunks. Terraced gardens cascade down the hillside in traditional Corfiot style.

The highest and most exposed of the eight hills, Villa Anemos embraces the wind rather than sheltering from it. The design merges Cycladic minimalism with Corfiot stonework—whitewashed volumes intersecting with raw stone walls. The structure appears to be shaped by the prevailing winds, with curved walls and aerodynamic forms.

A glass-walled infinity pool creates the illusion of swimming in the sky. The villa features a wind-sheltered internal courtyard with a fire pit, contrasting with the exposed exterior terraces.

The most secluded of the eight villas, Daphne is discovered rather than seen from afar. Approached through a narrow stone corridor, the villa reveals itself as a series of domed structures surrounding a lush courtyard garden. The architecture references Byzantine churches—domes, arches, and intricate stone screens—reinterpreted through a modernist lens.

The pool references Roman bath houses: partially covered, with thermal water effects, surrounded by columns and mosaic floors. Hidden passages connect the various domed chambers.

Oriented to capture every moment of sunlight, Villa Helios is a celebration of solar architecture. The mid-century modern design features horizontal lines, cantilevered planes, and extensive glass walls framed by honey-colored stone. A central atrium brings light deep into the structure.

The geometric lap pool runs along the southern facade, reflecting sunlight into the interior. A rooftop observatory deck provides unobstructed views for sunset cinematography.

The most dramatic location—a villa seemingly grown from the cliff face itself. Inspired by the monasteries of Meteora, Villa Petra features rough-hewn stone integrated with the natural rock. The structure cascades down the cliff in levels, connected by exterior stone staircases and bridges.

The pool is carved from natural rock, fed by a spring, creating a sacred grotto atmosphere. Small chapels and meditation spaces are carved into the cliff behind the villa.

A perfect circle of white marble columns defines Villa Thalos, inspired by ancient Greek tholos temples. The circular structure creates a 360-degree panorama from every room. The central courtyard features a circular pool reminiscent of ancient cisterns, with water flowing from a central marble fountain.

The villa is surrounded by a colonnade that provides shade and frames views in every direction. The roof is a modern interpretation of the ancient Greek dome, using glass and steel.

The westernmost villa captures the last light of the day. Villa Nereus features Art Nouveau curves and organic forms, constructed from green stone that appears to emerge from the sea itself. The architecture flows like waves—curved walls, shell-inspired forms, and flowing lines.

The lagoon-style pool meanders through the property like a natural stream, with sandy beaches, rocks, and native vegetation. The pool appears to flow directly into the sea below.
