INTERIOR
Entering into the open plan main level kitchen/sitting
room, you immediately sense that the house is not just a rental
accommodation, but also a lovingly decorated home in which
the owner spends time. With the kitchen painted in pretty
blues and greens, it has all the conveniences of your own
kitchen and French doors for easy access to the outdoor patio
areas.
A skylight centred above the kitchen allows for extra
light to the entire space. The highlight of the dining area
is a huge round thick wooden dining table with plenty of seating
for large parties.The
sitting room is amply furnished with a comfortable sofa, floor
pillows, country antiques and cosy kelim rugs. Every side
of the room is lined with windows offering fantastic views
to the sea and neighbouring islands and thus creating a light
and airy space. A winding stairway leads to a unique upper floor with two
bedrooms on different levels. A smaller stairway leads to
the master bedroom with three French doors opening to two
private balconies and one shared terrace. The balconies are
on opposite sides of the room and offer spectacular views
of both sunrise and sunset.
The 'top of the world' terrace is the perfect spot for afternoon
sunning with views down to the pool and un-interrupted vistas
to brilliant azure seas. The spacious w/c with full sized
bath is centrally located down the hall and is decorated in
bright blue tiles. At the end of the hallway is the second
bedroom, which consists of a sunny office with desk, bookshelves
and French doors to the same terrace that is shared with the
master bedroom. A small stairway (not recommended for young
children) ascends to the sleeping gallery. It is furnished
with two single mattresses on the floor in an open space under
the roof rafters and has a small w/c shower room.
A third bedroom with a separate entrance is reached from
the front terrace. This room has two single beds and is perfect
for teenage and young adult children, allowing them some independence
and privacy from the main house. It is equipped with a separate
very small shower room and w/c.
EXTERIOR
The outside areas of this unusually designed villa are one
of its best assets. The wrap-around terracotta tiled terraces
with glorious sea views lend a real Mediterranean feel and
create a perfect spot for all. Sun or shade, breezes or a
warm protected sunny area, there's an ideal position for every
time of day. A large built-in seating area is located just
outside the kitchen for outdoor dining. The pool is built
on a level lower than the villa, with drop away views to distant
sea and sky. Another roomy terrace set below the pool level
adds even more space for sunning and relaxing.
SURROUNDINGS
Villa Petaloutha's position near the north tip of the island
ensures lots of opportunities for exploration. Some of the
islands loveliest and out of the way beaches are within just
a few minutes drive. Walkers will enjoy the most un-spoilt
parts of the island by walking in any direction along the
many old donkey trails and paths. The town of Glossa can be
reached in only 20 minutes (approx) walk from the villa enabling
you to have an evening meal and walk back as the sun is setting
in the distance.
SUITABILITY
Villa Petaloutha is the perfect hideaway for both couples
and families who want a real escape in a villa that offers
everything one can hope for in a Greek island setting. Peace,
beauty and enchanting sunsets make Villa Petaloutha both incomparable
and unforgettable!
