Taking a group of houses over a hundred years old, Villa Kofinas is a fully renovated building situated on the uppermost slopes of the Santorini caldera. With breathtaking views from its commanding view over the local area, alien and breathtaking volcanic rock is juxtaposed against crystal seas and clear blue skies.

The building itself has been cleverly renovated to incorporate modern style and luxury while incorporating traditional features. The wooden doors and roof beams supporting traditional thatched style roofs of this rent villa are painted green to be conspicuous and noticeable. This is not a building seeking to hide its heritage but embrace and flaunt it.

The walls, however, are modern and smooth. The finish a slick and semi sheen white which shows a certain opulence and quality. Brickwork and stonework has been subliminated into a clean canvas to best enjoy the rent villa’s focal points as well as the breathtaking vistas it provides.

Water plays a huge part in the design of this rent villa, both in terms of the views and the features of the building. The bathrooms are lit to feel aquatic, with diffuse blue reflecting off white walls. The fittings are modern chrome and the finish high spec. The terrace incorporates a large and welcoming pool, itself lit for drama and to provide a focal point.

The building shows an overarching elegance, a continuity of design. It is semi open plan and has the same finish and color scheme throughout, with the walls acting as counterpoint to the painted wood features and the tiled floors. This is a regulated and paradoxically modern yet traditional building in a breathtakingly beautiful yet alien landscape.

This is probably one of the most beautiful Italian villas I’ve seen. It’s like a villa out of a dream, where every room looks very spacious, airy, and romantic. Located at one of the most premium places in Italy, in Cinque Terre, Liguria, is Villa Amira that really takes your breath away.

Villa Amira is perched on a ledge overseeing the ocean. This location is said to be part of an exclusive residential area, one of the best in Italy. And looking at how magnificent the interiors of the villa are, as well as the spectacular view outside, I couldn’t agree more.

Everything is first-class, a true luxury for someone who wants to experience a great rendezvous by living in a real Italian villa. From the quaint dining area outside overlooking the sea and the harbor, one can have a really peaceful breakfast, enjoying the sun and the fresh smell of water and the trees. There are also seats available for some lounging or sunbathing.

Even the interiors exude the warm atmosphere enveloping the villa, with its very modern yet earthy design and colors. Wide sliding glass doors and glass windows allow the room to breathe, and the sculptures and pottery and other accessories in the main room make the space look “lived in”.

Throughout the kitchen and the dining area, the bright colors continued the very welcoming appeal of Italy, and makes one feel very at home. The green lacquered cabinets are enticing, and looks almost good enough to eat, while the sunny dining table makes for a great venue for long meals of great food and conversation.

I also love the bedrooms and how they were designed. There’s something very authentic to it, and very native, too.

The Mediterranean theme is also very evident in this place, and makes one feel closer to the sea. The architecture, with its clean lines and wide open spaces, are made softer by interior elements like whites and blues, a splatter of greens, reds and browns. Curtains and big windows also bring sunshine inside, making the big area all the more inviting.

This is one Italian villa that you don’t want to miss when visiting. For an exclusive stay that is relaxing and luxurious at the same time, Villa Amira is something to look forward to.
