Very aptly named, this handsome big stone country house is peacefully positioned on a hillside with glorious panoramic sea views. The villa is built into the mountainside, with large well-tended young gardens, and is made up of two generously sized apartments each with private entrance.

A: A flight of outdoor stone steps leads to one traditionally furnished apartment (90sqm) on the upper floor, suitable for 4 people. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, and one with twin beds, a bathroom with bath tub/shower/WC, a living/dining room with open fireplace, and traditional wooden and stone built in seating. The large kitchenette has a full cooker and a fridge freezer. From the living/dining area, doors open to a spacious sun terrace with fabulous views over the huge expanse of sea, and surrounding mountainsides.

B: The larger apartment of 120sqm is on the lower floor, and is suitable for 6 people. There are three bedrooms, one with a double bed, and the other two with twin beds, and a bathroom with bath tub/shower/WC. Due to the hillside position, the bedroom windows to the rear are smaller and higher up than usual. The spacious living/dining area has an open fireplace, traditional wooden and stone seating, and a large modern well-equipped kitchenette. A large covered sun terrace is positioned to one side of the house, overlooking the gardens and across to the sea.

The tiny hamlet of Agia Paraskevi, about 300 metres away, consists of a handful of old restored village houses, a little chapel, and a children’s playground.

There is a small taverna/café overlooking the fabulous stretch of pebble beach of Ligres, which is 1,5 km away, and an excellent traditional fish taverna right on the sea at Agia Fotia, 5 km away, with a further taverna, kafenion and a tiny newsagent in the quaint village square of the village of Kerame, which is 3 km away. A large choice of tavernas and mini markets can be found in the pretty little town of Spili, at approx. 14 km distance. Car hire is essential.
