This house is situated just above the tiny fishing hamlet of Steni Vala which is one of the most picturesque areas of Alonissos.  Its waterfront tavernas offering freshly caught sea food and some very pretty beaches are all close to hand. The villa is reached by a paved path from the coastal road, and is surrounded by terraced gardens, with olive, lemon and almond trees. It has several sitting-out areas offering sun or shade with wonderful views down to the port of Steni Vala, the sea and the islands beyond. The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 W/C shower rooms.

INTERIOR
The main entrance opens into a large hallway area furnished with two divan sofas which can serve as an open plan sleeping area. To the right of the hall is a spacious well-equipped kitchen with a large dining table looking out to the pretty covered terrace which runs the length of the house. From one end of the kitchen there is access to a w/c shower room and on the opposite end, double doors lead to a small living room with one single bed, traditionally built fireplace and en-suite w/c shower room. There are French double doors leading out to the same terrace and the sea can be seen in the distance.

From the entrance hallway, a pine stairway leads up to the master bedroom with a double bed. This is a cozy room with windows facing out to the sea. The entire house is simply, but comfortably furnished with lots of pine wood and fresh checked fabrics throughout. All the rooms on the ground floor level have access on to the main sun terrace, which is partially shaded by a grapevine and leads to a barbeque area.

EXTERIOR
The villa is reached by a stone path from the coastal road and is surrounded by terraced gardens, with olive, lemon and almond trees.
