A note from us

We built it
for this view

The house stands on a hillside above Triopetra, facing south. From the terrace there is nothing between you and the Libyan Sea.

We keep it simple and we keep it ready. There is olive oil and wine on the table when you arrive, and we are a message away for anything else.

The coast below us

Three stones,
standing in the sea

The coast below the house is called Triopetra, after the three stones that stand in its water.

They part two beaches: a small one in their shelter, and a long one running west. From our terrace you watch this sea all day. Down there, you swim in it.

Evening

When the lights
come on

The sun goes down over the water to the west, and the terrace takes over.

Dinner outside, the pool lit, and a road so quiet you hear the sea.
