Beautifully designed and superbly positioned beneath a dramatic limestone crag, Villa Aelia makes an immediate impression. Its elevated hillside setting delivers spectacular views across the deep blue Aegean to the neighbouring island of Telendos, while the shops, cafés and tavernas of Masouri are conveniently within walking distance. It is a wonderful combination of breathtaking scenery and easy access to the island’s liveliest little resort.
Like many villas on Kalymnos, Aelia is built into the hillside, making the most of its dramatic surroundings. However, what really sets it apart is the generous outdoor space, something not always easy to find among the villas in Masouri. A large sun terrace, inviting Jacuzzi and, quite possibly, the biggest private swimming pool on the island provide plenty of room to relax and soak up the sunshine. Everything is thoughtfully positioned to capture the magnificent panorama, with uninterrupted views across the rugged mountains, the distinctive outline of Telendos and the sparkling Aegean beyond. As the day draws to a close, the sunsets from here are simply spectacular.
The impressive outlook continues indoors, where large picture windows bring the scenery right into the living spaces. The interiors are elegantly finished in a soothing palette of colours, with subtle detailing and contemporary furnishings creating a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere. The main house has two comfortable bedrooms, while a separate guest annexe, complete with its own en-suite shower room, provides additional privacy and flexibility. This makes Villa Aelia particularly well suited to a family with older children or a group of friends who appreciate having their own space.
The location is another real attraction, particularly for families with teenagers. Masouri, around a 15-minute walk downhill, is the island’s liveliest resort, with a good choice of waterfront tavernas, cafés, shops and relaxed bars. Older children can enjoy a little independence, while parents can look forward to evenings out without having to worry about driving. There are also two lovely beaches within a short drive. Masouri Beach is the more convenient choice, with tavernas close by and seasonal watersports, while Kasteli Beach, in the opposite direction, offers a more natural setting. The final stretch involves a little clambering, but the reward is a wonderfully unspoilt spot away from the busier beaches.
The owner’s ambition was to create one of the finest villas in the area, and with its exceptional views, generous pool terrace, stylish interiors and convenient position, we think Villa Aelia comes remarkably close. A very special choice for those looking to enjoy the best of Kalymnos in comfort and style.
