The estate

Built like a small resort. Kept entirely private.

Aelia's scale is not one oversized room. It is a network of places—water, lawn, terraces, play, wellness and six private bedrooms—connected around one residence.

01

For every generation

Children's pools and play zones sit alongside grown-up dining, wellness and quiet terraces.

02

For the whole day

The estate moves naturally from bright pool hours to covered dining and lit evening spaces.

03

For actual privacy

The outdoor area is fenced, with a private entrance and olive-grove space around the house.

Inside

Six bedrooms. Plenty of doors to close.

The shared spaces are made for fifteen, while bedrooms and en-suite facilities make it possible to step away from the group.

  • Air conditioning
  • Fully equipped kitchen
  • Weekly housekeeping
  • Baby equipment on request
