The property consists of a large main house, a beautiful guesthouse, an outstanding spa swimming pool and a floodlit tennis court. The setting is within substantial private grounds with direct access from the property to the beach, and with a jetty where the water taxi to and from the neighbouring island of Spetses can dock. Situated directly opposite the Old Harbour of Spetses, the property has spectacular views of the island across the bay.
Entering the hallway of the main house, to the right is a very large living room with plenty of comfortable sofas set around a beautiful fireplace, and with panoramic views across the bay to Spetses. Doors lead out to an expansive L-shaped marble pool terrace with dining areas. The marble used throughout the property is a sand-coloured matt stone which lends a golden light and natural warmth to the property. To the back of the living room is a dining area for 8 with a beautiful antique table. Through some double doors is the country-style main kitchen which is wonderfully equipped for cooks and with lovely views over the L-shaped marble terrace.
To the left of the main hallway, you enter a second hall. The double hallway has been so designed in order that the bedrooms always enjoy absolute quiet from the main living and swimming pool areas.From the second hallway is a double bedroom with doors leading onto a terrace which overlooks the island of Spetses. There is also a twin bedroom with doors leading into the garden. These two bedrooms share a marble bathroom with shower.
Downstairs, there is a master bedroom suite with double bedroom and ensuite marble bathroom with shower. Doors lead from this bedroom onto the garden terrace. Along the corridor is a twin bedroom with ensuite marble bathroom with shower. Further along are two adorable children’s bedrooms: a rosy pink bedroom with bunk beds, and a sky blue bedroom with bunk beds – both of these rooms have easy access to the garden for children to run and play. There is a separate marble bathroom with bath and shower, as well as a utility room.
At this level, there is an exit in order to reach the guest house (this can also be accessed via the steps from the pool terrace down to the garden). This is a wonderful villa in its own right and as comfortable and well-appointed as the main house with the addition of WIFI. Here, there is a very large living room with flat screen TV, dining table and kitchenette. This room is funky and modern in design with wonderful pieces of modern art on the walls. From the hallway, there is a marble bathroom with shower and one double bedroom.
Walking back up to the main house, the L-shaped marble terrace in actual fact boasts a completely separate swimming pool suite with WIFI access available: There is a separate pool kitchen which is as well-stocked and equipped as the main kitchen, a separate barbecue area, two separate marble bathrooms – one with WC and one with shower and changing area. There is a large outdoor dining area for up to 16 guests. There are plenty of areas set out with elegant coffee tables and chairs surrounded by the heady scent of huge tubs of gardenia. At the heart of all of this is the most stunning spa swimming pool with huge marble pillars that plunge into the water surrounded by many gorgeous recliners and lounge-chairs. To crown this most magnificent of properties is the luxury of having an astro-turf flood-lit private tennis court which is set within the grounds below the main house. Beyond the tennis court is a gate that leads directly out onto a lovely, quiet, sandy beach. The convenience of having a jetty below the property means that guests can easily be whisked to and fro to Spetses by the local taxi boat service.
