The Tsitouras Collection’s new property in Santorini is a small luxury villa on the edge of the cliff, right 75 meters down the 1780 mansion.
When you walk in, you’re so dazzled by the beauty that you’re unsure whether the vision before you has just risen foam-flecked from the sea or wafted in on the air. In fact, the building stands firmly on the black Theran land, flirting with the salt air and caressing the sky. Sulphur, salt, water… Elements with the power of alchemy join in the exciting game of transmutation that its owner knows so well…
Inside, the villa consists of a sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, all carefully laid out to activate the feeling of comfort. Outside is the blue of the pool that appears to merge seamlessly, symbolically into the open sea. The decorative style is well known. Spare, elegant, luxury. Works of art from Dimitris Tsitouras´ favorite periods – ancient Hellenic, Byzantine and modern Greek – adorn the most unlikely corners, creating surprises everywhere. Furniture, objects, icons, paintings and sculptures, all provide visual stimuli and aesthetic associations, against a mythic, incredibly beautiful backdrop.
Plato´s lines in the Sophist are absolutely fitting: …We’ll tell how, on one side he creates a real house by building it, and on the other side, a second by painting it, like a beautiful day-dream…
