Today we hop over to the warmth of Greece to view a fascinating antique home!
Located near the village of Chios, in the Northern Aegean region of Greece, is the stunning Villa Perioli.
Set inside a breathtaking orange and tangerine grove on the northwest fringes of the Kambos Valley, Villa Perivoli offers a bountiful blend of historic charm and natural beauty.
The Kambos Valley is known for producing some of the world’s most aromatic and flavorful tangerines. Can you imagine the fragrant smells wafting through the sun-filled air here?
Built in the 15th century during the Genovese occupation, this two-story villa showcases Genovese architecture with carved stone, cruciform masonry, and curved arch ceilings.
With an independent well and irrigation system servicing its extensive grove, Villa Perivoli is a self-sustaining retreat only a short 20-minute drive to Chios’s medieval villages.
The stone home is surrounded by lush Mediterranean landscaping.
The sun beats hot in this region of the world, so you can appreciate how those thick stone walls keep much of the external heat at bay.
Let’s have a look inside!
On the ground floor of Villa Perivoli, you’ll find two inviting living rooms, a dining area, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The arched living rooms with their historic light fixtures and antique Greek heirlooms are cozy and fascinating.
The one sore spot in this house is the kitchen…
The dark orange tile and wood cabinets – not to mention the cramped space – leave one feeling a bit claustrophobic.
But the other rooms of the home make up for the kitchen with their historic charm and architectural features.
On the upper level, there are three spacious bedrooms, an office, and a bathroom. This level is connected to a serene veranda, with peaceful views of the surrounding grove.
Imagine the aroma wafting in the bedroom windows from the surrounding tangerine groves…
Access to the veranda from the second level includes a path to the home’s spacious pool.
The veranda is beautifully landscaped and naturally lends itself to outdoor dining after the sun has gone down.
Villa Perivoli is an enchanting place full of warmth and history.
But all this luxury and land does not come cheap: it is listed for sale at 1.800.000 €.
To live in a modernized 15th-century home (that does have air conditioning) on a citrus grove in a storied region of Greece…. it may be worth every Euro!
