VILLA ILIOS
Description
A refined sea-view retreat above Gaios, where light, elegance, and island rhythm meet.
Villa Ilios is a light-filled, elegant retreat set above the gentle curve of the coast near Gaios, where the sea stretches endlessly toward Panagia Island and the distant Greek mainland. From its terraces and verandas, the villa enjoys an ever-changing panorama of blue — sailboats gliding across the water by day, soft lights shimmering across the harbour by night.
The villa’s character is immediately inviting. Whitewashed walls, pale stone floors, and soft coastal tones are accented by blue shutters, flowing linens, and carefully chosen furnishings that feel refined yet relaxed. There is an effortless harmony between the architecture and its surroundings, creating an atmosphere that is both stylish and deeply calming.
Outdoor living shapes the experience at Villa Ilios. The swimming pool appears to float gently between olive trees and the sea beyond, surrounded by generous sun terraces and shaded seating areas. Whether enjoying a quiet morning swim, a lazy afternoon with a book, or an evening aperitif as the sky softens into dusk, the outdoor spaces invite guests to slow down and linger.
A short stroll brings you to the heart of Gaios, where small shops, bakeries, tavernas, and waterfront cafés add gentle energy to the day. Yet back at the villa, a sense of peace prevails — the perfect balance between connection and retreat.
Villa Ilios is a home designed for shared moments and quiet pleasures: laughter drifting across the terrace, long meals under the open sky, and nights cooled by sea breezes and soft island light.
