Villa Echo

This one-of-a-kind estate offers spectacular views over the dazzlingly blue Aegean Sea to the islands of Paros and Naxos in the distance. Framed by mountains and sea, the two‐hectare private estate contains olive orchards, a working vineyard, and wheat fields. The estate overlooks a hidden fertile valley where, over thousands of years, the islanders have carved out terraced fields planted with gnarled olive trees.

From Spring to Fall, life revolves around the expansive outdoor living and entertaining areas and the 60 square meter pool. The area is purely agricultural, with animals grazing peacefully in the surrounding fields. At night, the outdoor terraces and cloudless sky provides excellent stargazing opportunities. For 2023, a one‐kilometer‐long on‐property looping walking trail enables guests to explore the estate and take in the surrounding scenery. The back gate of the property accesses the trail that passes through the valley to the ancient Church of Agios Sostis at the water’s edge.

The architecture and interior are design tributes to Cycladic heritage, modernist spirits, the Mediterranean lifestyle, sustainable principles, and contemporary luxury hospitality standards. While the exterior of the building complies with strict Cyclades architectural style guidelines to preserve the island’s historical Cycladic character, the spatial configuration of the house reflects the contemporary ideal of openness and connectivity and the interior design features bold sculptural form of architectural elements, accompanied with free flow of space and sight lines.

The 249 m² ground floor indoor area comprises two spacious bedroom suites, each of which with independent entrance, a high ceiling living room with a library and a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, all with amazing sea views; a chef’s kitchen, and a powder room. The expansive ground level terraces surrounding the house provide yet more sea views, poolside sunbathing, a reflecting pool, al‐fresco dining and entertaining, and nooks to hide away with a good book. The private upper floor is devoted to a 56 m² master suite, with four terraces and two verandas totaling 170 m² of furnished outdoor living spaces offering a 360‐degree panoramic view to the sea and mountains. The terraces of the ancient valley provide a foreground to the serene water; on windy days, the waving wheat stalks echo the waves on the sea. At night, the sea becomes iridescent, lit only by the light of the silver moon.

Villa Echo is conveniently located on the east coast of Sifnos, a 20‐minute drive from Kamares Port, near the Agios Sostis trailhead, overlooking a quiet and unspoiled valley to the sea. It is 4 km north of the village of Artemonas and 6 km from the village of Apollonia; both villages are Cycladic gems with centuries‐old alleys and excellent shopping and dining options.

Most beaches are a 20‐minute drive away, including Vathy, a long sandy beach with sunloungers at one end and a naturist segment beyond, Apokofto, overlooking Chrisopigi monastery, and Plati Yialos, a family‐friendly beach. The ancient hora of Kastro is a 15‐minute drive away.
