Butterfly, a historical, fairytale-style, villa with pool & hot tub!

Approached via a secluded tree-lined lane in Armeni, this 1900 stone residence has been transformed into a refined, dreamy fairytale retreat. The estate seamlessly merges preserved Cretan masonry with Tuscan-inspired terracotta and pastel patinas, creating timeless character. Positioned on the hillside, this 150 sq.m. design-led sanctuary spans two curated levels with mountain vistas, complete privacy, and multi-tiered outdoor living featuring a private pool, heated Jacuzzi, BBQ, and playground.
