Villa Description
A stone-paved track leads to this character, stone-built cottage, where a solid arched wooden door leads into the house. Cosy open plan living space with a seating area and fully equipped kitchenette with a solid wood breakfast bar to your right; to the left of the open plan living area you will find a metal framed double bed with bedside tables, an antique wardrobe and dresser. There is a window that overlooks the pool area and the Ionian Sea.
The kitchen door opens onto 2 small naturally shaded terraces with outdoor dining areas, both offering different sea view perspectives whilst overlooking the L shaped pool; the swimming pool has safety glass around one side, so as not to obscure the views. The spacious swimming pool area features a stone wall surrounding the property to provide privacy. There is also a stone build BBQ and views to the North East coast of the island are simply breath-taking!
