Villa Irene is part of a collection of new houses that successfully retain the character and gracious architecture of the island. Located in a quiet residential area close to the Old Harbour of Spetses, the villas have been designed around a courtyard garden with a profusion of flowers and winding pathways in traditional pebble mosaic. Villa Irene with its red painted shutters, bright-white walls and terracotta tiled roof is just above the swimming pool that is shared by four neighbouring houses.Steps lead from the entrance to an open plan living/dining room which is decorated in a light and airy island style. From the well equipped kitchen, there is access to a lovely and spacious veranda overlooking the swimming pool and gardens. This is a great space for al-fresco dining, coffee in the morning, reading and relaxing generally whilst keeping that watchful eye on the children playing in the swimming pool.
