About the property
Rafter Melides Oliveras is a distinctive retreat where refined aesthetics and an artistic sensibility meet the quiet, elemental rhythm of the Atlantic coast. Designed by an internationally active artist, the house feels considered yet effortless, with a calm, light-filled interior that blurs the boundary between indoors and out. At its centre, a serene garden of olive and magnolia trees surrounds a petrol-blue pool, while terraces invite slow days in the sun. A rooftop fireplace frames views across the hills of Melides and out to the sea, completing a space that is both design-led and deeply comfortable.
