Our home takes inspiration from traditional Greek farmsteads while bringing in natural materials and a simple, contemporary approach to rural living, with a private garden and veranda opening towards the farm and surrounding mountains. Beyond our door are olive groves, vineyards and productive gardens cultivated through regenerative and organic practices.
