Your Guided Tour of the Villa

The villa is exceptionally airy and spacious.

The walls are almost a metre thick and keep the villa cooler in the summer than the modern-built villas and warmer in the winter. The floors are plaka downstairs and wooden upstairs.

Through the main doors there is a kitchen-diner, leading to shower and toilet, and a lounge.

Kitchen-diner The kitchen comes equipped with large fridge/freezer, washing machine, electric oven and gas hob. You will have the crockery, cutlery, glasses and utensils. There is an old-style fireplace in the corner (not shown) with the old bread oven at the back.

There are stairs to Bedroom 1, a door to the shower room/wc and and doorway through the metre thick wall into the lounge.
The cool lounge The lounge is cool in the summeheat and is lovely place to sit and read or entertain.

There is a long built-in settee with mattresses to sleep a further two people and a Sporades fireplace similar to the kitchen. There are french windows out to the front and also to the rear Courtyard.


Courtyard The Courtyard contains a fruit tree, a large vine covering the pergola, another inbuilt stone seat, a marble-topped table and steps up to the rear terrace.

Here you will also find the huge main sterna forming part of the wall. Fortunately it has been designed to feed water into the villa using gravity, hence avoiding the need to use noisy electric pumps like most other houses.
View from rear terrace The views from the rear terrace allow you to see the sea both to the north where the Castro lies on the cliff looking out to the sea, and to the south towards Evvia and Skopelos and the side of the house.

View from Rear Terrace Your closest beach is Micros Mourtias, a walk from the villa down the donkey track (seen below as a U-shaped bay).
Bedroom 1 Bedroom 1 lies above the kitchen/diner.  
                
Bedroom 1 has windows on two sides and is so large it could easily be divided to make two bedrooms. Only half of it is shown here.

Bedroom 1 Balcony Doors Bedroom 1 has its own balcony overlooking the valley and the sea to both north and south.
Bedroom 2 Bedroom 2 is above the lounge and has its own set of stairs from there.
               

It has a stunning mezzanine appearance from the lounge below, but is very private at the same time.

It too is dual aspect, looking out onto the courtyard and to the front of house. It has its own balcony with views of the sea and the other way to Dio Adelphi, the twin islands seen from the south-east of the island.
