The space The Sculptor’s Villa & Studio is nestled on a hilltop with panoramic views of the sea and the beautiful neighbouring island of Antiparos. Surrounded by an acre of Mediterranean gardens the property offers unadulterated privacy. The villa is a short eight minute drive from Parikia, the main town and port of Paros and is a convenient 5 minute drive from the island’s airport. It is easy to find by taking a turn off the main road of the island (Parikia/Alyki) passing a small chapel before turning right up a winding trail to the very top of the hill. On arrival, the panoramic view slowly unfolds before you and several outdoor sculptures come into view at the entrance to the property. The home consists of the main villa and the studio which was the artist’s workshop and has now been converted into a bright, modern self-contained apartment. The timeless combination of marble, stone and honey colored wood creates an elegant but somewhat cozy space. Everything is hand made, meticulously perfected by the artist to his own very high standards. The Sculptor’s Villa The main villa features two double bedrooms which can be configured to either twin beds or a standard double if required. There is a bathroom with shower as well as an outdoor shower area. Both bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The living area is open plan with a large wooden dining table in the dining room which comfortably seats 6-8 people. The kitchen is compact but fully equipped with gas hobs, electric oven, fridge-freezer, dish-washer, coffee maker, kettle and microwave oven and has a cosy breakfast bar. The sunken living room has comfortable leather sofas and a stone fireplace. A covered terrace at the front of the house has a marble dining table with seating for 6-8 people. A round marble table on the front terrace is a perfect spot for your morning coffee and sunset cocktails. You can enjoy the spectacular sunsets each evening and on a clear day you can make out up to six neighbouring islands on the horizon. There is a laundry room with a washing machine, as well as a covered outdoor area which is ideal for drying. The Sculptor’s Studio The studio has just been renovated and features a large double bedroom and a corner sofa with a privacy partition in between. Ceiling to floor double-glazed glass sliding doors open out to a spacious bamboo covered terrace and a large outdoor space. The bathroom is finished in grey Parian marble and has a shower. The fully equipped kitchenette opens out to a breakfast bar. Both the Villa bedrooms and the Studio are air-conditioned and have mosquito nets on the windows. WiFi is available throughout. The quirky organic shaped pool is subtly set back from the house and is protected by a dry-stone wall, olive and cypress trees. A perfect place to relax and sunbathe and for when it gets too hot a wooden pergola provides shade. A sunken table and seating area by the pool carved out of the bedrock is the perfect spot for refreshments. The garden has plenty of creative seating areas, each providing a unique view of the surrounding countryside. Mature Eucalyptus trees add colour and shade to the front terraced garden which unfolds like a secret garden and includes even a simple tree house to held up by the branches of an old olive tree. The property was designed and constructed by the artist himself. This is a culmination of the vision and artistry of Richard King who has taken elements of Cycladic culture and Parian nature and created a masterpiece.
