This large stone house, and a 33 sqm swimming pool has been built on
solid rock within the traditional village of Eleftherna. The lofty
hillside position of the house provides outstanding panoramic views
across the mountainous landscapes, the scattered village houses and to
the sea in the distance.
The house, which is built on three floors, is approx. 250sqm in size,
and suitable for up to 10 people. The main entrance is reached by a
flight of stone steps, leading up to the living/dining area with stone
arch and open plan kitchenette. From the kitchen one reaches a
spacious balcony with views. Throughout the villa there are wooden
floors, beamed ceilings, and traditional furnishing. The seating area
is equipped with a TV, and a stone fireplace for cooler evenings. On
this level, beneath the wooden staircase, there is a WC. The staircase
leads to a spacious double bedroom with small ensuite shower/WC.
French doors lead to a sun terrace with views (not suitable for small
children). Off the living/dining area a steep wooden staircase leads
down to a further three bedrooms (two triple and one double). One of
the triple bedrooms has a balcony with access to the pool via two
short flights of stairs. The double bedroom has its own covered
balcony with views of the surrounding area. Further to this there is a
shower/WC and a bath/WC with washing machine. In the little gardens at
the side there is a barbecue area with a Cretan stone oven.
There are two tavernas in the village, and kafenion approx. 200 metres
away. The nearest sandy beach, and further tavernas and shops can be
found in Stavromenos, at a distance of approx. 12km (here you find the
shops open also at the weekend).All other shopping possibilities you
will find in the small town of Perama in about 8 km distance. This is
a historic area with archaeological sites, and a Roman water cistern
nearby. For those who enjoy walking there is a superb 2-hour hike from
Eleftherna to the famous Monastery of Arkadi.
