"...The lovely dream, that makes you feel you´re in tune with the universe and with the people in it..."
"...Splendid but homey, impressive in its human dimensions. Rooted on earth but with its head in the clouds. Dimitris Tsitouras´ new country home in Santorini..."
Dimitris Tsitouras´ new property in Santorini is a small luxury villa on the edge of the cliff, right next to the old Tsitouras´ country house.
When you walk in, you´re so dazzled by the beauty that you´re unsure whether the vision before you has just risen foam-flecked from the sea or wafted in on the air.
In fact, the building stands firmly on the black Theran land, flirting with the salt air and caressing the sky.
Sulphur, salt, water... Elements with the power of alchemy join in the exciting game of transmutation that its owner knows so well...
Inside, the villa consists of a sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, all carefully laid out to activate the feeling of comfort. Outside is the blue of the pool that appears to merge seamlessly, symbolically into the open sea.
The decorative style is well known. Spare, elegant, luxury. Works of art from Dimitris Tsitouras´ favourite periods - ancient Hellenic, Byzantine and modern Greek - adorn the most unlikely corners, creating surprises everywhere. Furniture, objects, icons, paintings and sculptures, all provide visual stimuli and aesthetic associations, against a mythic, incredibly beautiful backdrop.
Plato´s lines in the Sophist are absolutely fitting:
...We´ll tell how, on one side he creates a real house by building it,
and on the other side, a second by painting it, like a beautiful day-dream...
