Nestled in the distinguished seaside suburb of Glyfada, Villa Rontiri is a mid-century architectural gem from the 1950s. Once part of a historic neighborhood where prominent Athenians built their private summer retreats, the villa was in need of a thoughtful revival to recapture its original charm.
The brief was to transform the property into an elegant boutique rental, while preserving its architectural integrity. The villa’s post-war character lived in its terrazzo floors, sculptural staircase, and delicate vitro windows — features we carefully restored rather than replaced.
The two-storey residence was reimagined to function flexibly: either as a single 250 m² (2,700 ft²) retreat or as two self-contained 125 m² (1,450 ft²) apartments. Each floor offers a spacious living and dining area for eight guests, two generous bedrooms with king-size beds, and a third bedroom with a double bed. Every level is also equipped with a full kitchen, a large bathroom with a bathtub, and a smaller bathroom with a shower.
At the rear, a lush private garden frames a shimmering glass-edged pool — a tranquil sanctuary where guests can unwind and immerse themselves in the serenity of the natural setting.
