Discover the epitome of modern Greek Island luxury with Sotto Terra, a stunning villa located on the Cycladic Island of Los. Designed by WIP Architects in collaboration with Christos Vlachos, this exquisite residence is fully integrated into the rugged natural landscape. Boasting uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea, Sotto Terra is designed with two distinct levels: the lower level houses a guest room and parking area, while the top level features the main living spaces, divided into two volumes connected by a corridor. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living, while the two infinity pools, positioned to the west and south, visually merge with the sparkling sea.
The villa’s design is rooted in simplicity and sustainability, blending contemporary elegance with traditional Cycladic architecture. Locally sourced stone façades and concrete steps blend harmoniously with the terraced landscape, offering both aesthetic appeal and easy access to all areas of the property. The villa features a spacious living area, open-plan kitchen, and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, all centered around a common relaxation space that overlooks the estate’s 75 sq.m. pool. With every detail carefully considered, the villa creates a balance between luxurious comfort and functional design, ideal for those seeking a tranquil retreat with all modern amenities.
Perched on a hillside above Mylopotas Bay, Sotto Terra offers 180° panoramic sea views, including distant glimpses of Santorini and Sikinos. Just a short drive from the lively beach and vibrant town of Ios, the villa enjoys proximity to the island’s finest attractions while maintaining a sense of seclusion and privacy. Mylopotas Beach, famous for its Blue Flag certification and crystal-clear waters, is a hub for beachside activities, water sports, and fine dining, making it one of the top destinations in Greece. Built with natural materials from the island itself, Sotto Terra redefines luxury living with a focus on environmental harmony and timeless design.
