The Little Things. That aren’t so Little.

We’ve seen enough beautiful houses to know that beauty alone doesn’t tell the whole story.
We pay attention to how a house is lived in. Whether there’s a comfortable place to sit and take in an exceptional view. Enough space to come together, and enough privacy to disappear for a while. A superbly appointed kitchen, with professional-grade equipment and everything needed to prepare and serve a memorable dinner for a full house. A garden worth spending time in. An exceptional art collection, assembled over time with knowledge, curiosity and a deeply personal eye, reflecting the tastes, travels and stories of the people who call the house their own.

Some details make a house a pleasure to live in. Others bring individuality, authenticity and a sense of personal history to the experience of staying there. Both matter.

Because choosing a house isn’t simply about what looks exceptional in photographs. It’s about understanding what makes the experience of staying there genuinely memorable.

PORTO HELI. A NEW ATELIER PLACE.

Porto Heli has long held a particular place in Greek summer life.

There is an aristocratic finesse to this corner of the Peloponnese, expressed not through grand gestures, but through the remarkable private estates that have defined its coastline for generations. Expansive residences, beautifully established gardens, secluded waterfront settings and a certain confidence that comes with knowing exactly what it is.

Porto Heli has its own way of doing things. Privacy is prized, entertaining is an art, and a boat across to cosmopolitan Spetses is as much a pleasure as the destination itself.

Less than three hours from Athens by car, it offers something increasingly precious: the freedom and seclusion of a private coastal retreat without feeling far removed from the world.

Its enduring appeal is easy to understand. The scale and beauty of its houses, its sheltered coastline and a quietly sophisticated social life have made Porto Heli one of Greece’s most distinguished residential destinations.

For Atelier Cicadas, it is a natural addition — a place where exceptional houses and a particular culture of living come together.

We are delighted to welcome Porto Heli to our collection of Atelier Places.

From the Atelier Journal | The Quiet Presence of a Pythari

We have long admired the beautiful earthenware vessels known in Greek as pytharia. As natural as they are artful and practical, they belong in Greek homes, courtyards and gardens.

We are delighted to discover them in our collection’s houses and beyond; each bears traces of craftsmanship and traditions we hold dear.

Our affection inspired this Journal entry—we wanted to share a little of that love.

Next summer begins with a house you can’t stop thinking about—and an invitation to the people you want there.

Summer 2027 is already taking shape. This is the time to find the house you love, choose your dates, and have something wonderful to look forward to.

We know all our houses by heart. We’ll help you find the right fit and plan your stay, drawing on our knowledge of each house and its surroundings, and taking care of the details that matter to you.

Your summer house in Greece.

Introducing The Atelier Journal.

Our houses are only ever part of the story.

Behind them are people, places, ideas, traditions, objects, food, art — and all the things that make us curious about a destination long after we have arrived.

The Atelier Journal is where we will share some of those stories.

We begin with artist and ceramicist Carolin Ehret, whose homes on Paros and Antiparos offer a very personal glimpse into the relationship between art, collecting, creativity and the places we choose to call home.

A Conversation with a Ceramicist — our first story is now in the Journal.

Crete has a way of staying with you.

Perhaps it is the scale of the landscape — mountains falling towards the sea, ancient olive groves, hidden coves and villages where traditions remain part of everyday life. Perhaps it is the food, the generosity, the stories and mythology woven through the island. Or simply that unmistakable Cretan sense of place.

It is a destination we have wanted to explore more deeply for some time.

As always, we will do so slowly: finding houses with character, getting to know the people behind them, understanding their surroundings and discovering the experiences that make staying there feel genuinely connected to the island.

Our first Crete houses are now joining the Atelier Cicadas portfolio.

A little further south, with much to discover.

SEPTEMBER, PERHAPS.

September may just be our favourite month in Greece.

The light softens, the beaches empty, the sea holds onto the warmth of summer and tables become a little easier to find.

The days are still long enough. The evenings a little cooler. And suddenly, there is more space for everything.

Summer, with a little more room to enjoy it.

A villa is at its best when life takes over.

When doors stay open, breakfast stretches into the morning, books are left where they were last read and bare feet wander between the house, the pool and the sea.

Children come and go. Lunch finds its own hour. Conversations continue long after the table has been cleared.

We care deeply about exceptional architecture, beautiful interiors and remarkable settings. But what matters just as much is how a house feels once you are living in it — the freedom, the ease, the pleasure of simply being there.

Antiparos wears its sophistication lightly.

There is a distinctly cosmopolitan spirit to the island, but little need to display it. Luxury here is low-key and deeply connected to place — exceptional architecture settled into the Cycladic landscape, extraordinary settings, beautiful interiors and a quality of living that feels both elevated and wonderfully natural.

The finest villas seem to belong exactly where they are. Built into the terrain rather than imposed upon it, they open generously to gardens, terraces and the sea, allowing the landscape to become part of the house and daily life to move effortlessly between indoors and out.

And then there is the way of living. Beautiful tables and long dinners, accomplished cooking, days on the water, privacy when you want it and the easy social life of an island with a genuinely international outlook.

This combination is what makes Antiparos so compelling to us: remarkable houses and spectacular settings, certainly, but also a particular standard of island living — sophisticated, relaxed and never overstated.

We pay attention to the details.

To the art that tells you something about the people who live there. To a kitchen designed for those who genuinely love to cook. To the exact position of a chair, a window framing the sea, a flash of yellow against blue. To the moment when the house opens out and the landscape becomes part of it.

And, always, to how close you are to the sea.

Individually, they may seem like small things. Together, they are what give a house its character.

The things we notice.
