About the Villa
The Villa is undoubtedly impressive. It is built entirely of local stone to resemble the Greek fortified houses of the past era with its moat effect walkway, bridged patio and wide interior and exterior archways. Surrounded by private grounds of 4000 square meters including private olive groves, the villa has a traditional countrified setting.
The interior and exterior is designed and built by renowned local architect and builder. Special attention has been paid to every detail to create a unique retreat for our guests. The exquisite carpentry has been designed and hand-carved from solid oak by local craftsmen to suit the needs of the Villa . The theme of the villa is an open rose which is particularly evident in the wood carvings, especially in the large master bedroom.
Every possible modern comfort is available at the Villa, a touch of old and a touch of new is highly evident throughout the villa giving it an aura of class and elegance. The Villa comfortably accommodates up to six guests.
