Built in 2003 and designed by the owners, the property is ideally situated in a secluded olive grove in beautifully landscaped gardens and yet is only minutes away from the beach, bars and restaurants of Almerida and the village of Plaka.
The accommodation is set out over 100 sq metres and the three double sized bedrooms are well furnished and equipped. Now with Satellite TV. The double bedroom, the kitchen and lounge walk out onto the large covered veranda and then you are only steps away from the 10m x 4.5 metre swimming pool which is 1.450m level depth. The plot is very private and not overlooked by other properties.
A set of steps allow easy access to the pool and a metal ladder is also fitted. For less able guests, the pool terrace is accessible via the ramp at the side of the house. The large pool terrace has plenty of sunbeds, a sunshade and a brick built barbeque. There is a dining table and chairs on the covered veranda for alfresco dining. The large lawned gardens offer shade under the olive trees where you can relax in the freestanding hammock. There is a pergola view point area for chilling out and enjoying the extensive view across Souda Bay to the Akrotiri. There are beautiful views from all aspects of the villa and gardens.
