House with pool and garden Chios (Greece)
Set within the historic landscape of Chios’ Kambos Valley, Villa Perivoli is a carefully preserved Genoese estate surrounded by more than 14,000 sqm of citrus groves, mature trees, and stone-paved courtyards. The property sits quietly behind high stone walls on the north-western edge of Kambos, an area known for its aristocratic estates, fertile gardens, and distinctive architecture shaped by centuries of Venetian and Genoese influence. Approached through a long private drive lined with citrus trees and dense greenery, the estate gradually reveals its warm stone façades, arched entrances, and shaded terraces. Built during the 15th century, the main residence retains many of its original architectural elements, including carved local stone, vaulted ceilings, cruciform masonry, and deep-set windows that protect the interiors from the summer heat. The atmosphere throughout feels grounded in the island’s history while remaining highly liveable and quietly elegant. The main villa spans approximately 330 sqm across two levels. Inside, a sequence of reception rooms unfolds beneath curved ceilings and soft plaster walls, with natural light filtering through traditional wooden-framed windows. The living rooms feel intimate rather than formal, furnished with antique pieces, woven textiles, and dark timber details that reflect the character of the house. In several spaces, the thickness of the stone walls creates recessed openings and alcoves that soften the transition between rooms. The kitchen remains faithful to the traditional aesthetic of the estate, with handcrafted wood cabinetry, terracotta-toned surfaces, and preserved historical details integrated into everyday functionality. Nearby dining spaces open naturally toward the courtyards, allowing the house to move easily between indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months. Upstairs, the bedrooms overlook the surrounding groves and gardens, while a veranda of approximately 25 sqm provides a shaded vantage point across the estate. The sounds here are largely limited to wind moving through the citrus trees and water flowing through the irrigation channels that have sustained Kambos for generations. An office and additional guest accommodation allow flexibility for longer stays or year-round living. Beyond the main residence, a separate 19th-century stone cottage of approximately 64 sqm serves as a guest house or caretaker’s residence, positioned discreetly beside the gardens for additional privacy. The outdoor spaces form an essential part of the property’s identity. Stone terraces, mature palms, flowering plants, and citrus orchards surround a large swimming pool of approximately 72 sqm, positioned at the centre of the estate. A shaded outdoor kitchen and dining area create a natural gathering point beneath the trees, while the extensive grounds provide both complete privacy and a strong connection to the agricultural history of the region. The estate remains fully supported by an independent well and irrigation system, allowing the citrus groves to continue operating much as they have historically. Throughout the seasons, the property changes subtly with the flowering and harvesting cycles of the oranges and tangerines for which Kambos is internationally known. Despite its sense of seclusion, Villa Perivoli lies only five kilometres from Chios Town and within easy reach of the island’s medieval villages and coastline. The property combines historical authenticity, agricultural heritage, and residential comfort in one of Greece’s most culturally distinctive landscapes. Features include a 72 sqm swimming pool, guest cottage, outdoor kitchen and dining area, citrus groves, independent well and irrigation system, study, BBQ area, and historic Genoese architectural details. Eligible for both the Greek Golden Visa and the Greek Non Dom Programme.
