Piperi House: Cycladic Luxury with Breathtaking Aegean Views

This exquisite retreat captures the essence of Cycladic villages, harmoniously blending with the Kythnos island's natural beauty. With mesmerizing views of the Aegean Sea and the neighboring archipelago, Piperi House stands as a crystalline sculpture carved from white stone.

Experience a remarkable circular journey through its monolithic volumes, inspired by the drawings of M.C.Escher. Amidst this enchanting setting, LAUFEN bathroom products add elegance and functionality to Piperi House, elevating the experience of Greek island living.

The allure of Piperi House lies in its white stepped alleys connecting four white cubes, each perched at different heights into the hillside. Inspired by the Cycladic village style, the house offers a captivating circular movement throughout its levels. From within, guests can revel in breathtaking views of the sea, Piperi Island, and the ever-changing colors of the sky, perfectly framed from multiple vantage points, including the bedrooms, bathtub, dining table, and sofa. The terraces unite indoor and outdoor spaces, seamlessly blending Piperi House with the Mediterranean landscape.

While the panoramic 200-degree views of the sea are captivating, the coastal winds are delicately managed by the clever orientation of the white cubes. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to create windless spots, ensuring comfort regardless of the wind’s direction and strength. Two staircases gracefully connect Piperi House to the sea on each side of the peninsula. One leads to the majestic cliffs on the east, where one can plunge into the crystal-clear waters, while the other path guides guests to a serene sandy beach on the southwest side.

Piperi House’s commitment to elegance extends to its bathroom spaces, fitted with LAUFEN products. Crafted to seamlessly blend with the Cycladic aesthetic, LAUFEN bathroom fixtures add a touch of sophistication and functionality to the interior. With impeccable attention to detail, the bathrooms complement the architectural design, creating a harmonious flow throughout the entire retreat. 

Piperi House stands as a mesmerizing oasis on Kythnos Island, Greece, embracing the essence of Cycladic beauty and offering breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Inspired by the iconic white villages, this monolithic masterpiece takes guests on an enchanting circular journey through its white cubes. LAUFEN bathroom products elevate the retreat, marrying elegance and functionality to create a serene and indulgent island living experience.
