Villa Dolores

sleeps up to: 5

This fully refurbished house in the oldest section of town has all of the elements one is looking for to feel part of a Greek community. The house itself is homey and comfortable and it is evident upon entering that it is a home and not just a holiday cottage. The main entrance leads into a roomy open plan sitting/dining room and kitchen. The space has cool terracotta tiles and the white covered sofas angle toward the corner fireplace and television area. One step higher is the kitchen and dining area. With a long table seating up to eight persons, it is obvious this house is for socializing and entertaining. The kitchen is very well equipped for those who enjoy cooking up sumptuous holiday feasts. A flight of stairs lead to the master bedroom level of the house where there is a w/c shower room at the top of the stairs. The traditional master bedroom has open beamed ceilings and is furnished with a double sized iron bed and the closet runs the length of the wall. The most fabulous part of the bedroom though is the spacious balcony facing out to wonderful views of the harbour and Stafilos Night view from bed balconyValley covered in olive trees. Either for an afternoon snooze in the heat of the day or a night cap enjoying the twinkling harbour lights below - this will no doubt be a favourite spot in Dolores’s House. The lower bedroom is situated down an outside stairway from the main house and is entered through a small private patio. The room itself is very spacious with plenty of windows offering lots of light. All open plan, a kitchenette in the front end of the room has the facilities to make only coffee and has a fridge for cold drinks. The sofa doubles as an extra sleeping space which is made from a single mattress. The two single beds are situated in a recess at the back of the room, making a cool and comfortable space for catching up on ones sleep. Small decorative touches added throughout the house give it an artsy and special atmosphere. Quality paintings on the walls and interesting collectables added here and there, complete in making this tastefully decorated house a place to call home. EXTERIOR Located on a stepped, cobbled street in the oldest quarter of town, the courtyard is accessed through a gated entrance. This beautiful courtyard is covered with mature trees and lovely potted flowers making a cool and quaint atmosphere. Dolores’s House is the perfect picture of a typically white washed house with colourful blue shutters, railings and doors. The lighting at night creates such a lovely atmosphere that one can easily imagine spending more evenings at home than out. Whether for morning coffee or evening meals, the courtyard will leave you feeling like you are living in real Greek neighbourhood. SURROUNDINGS With the maze of winding and picturesque streets of the old town at your feet, there are plenty of opportunities to explore. One of the oldest churches, which dates from 1600, Saint Georgios, is situated just around the corner from the house as is the Venetian fortress with its base stones dating from the 4th century B.C. A walled stairway with dramatic views down the shear cliffs to the sea leads either up to the fortress or down to the harbour and is also found near to the house. Within close proximity of the house is an open-air cafe, open from May to Mid- September, with stunning views out to sea and the neighbouring island of Alonissos. A local supermarket is found within a five-minute walk and the waterfront and its shops, restaurants and cafes are a short 7-minute walk down the steep streets of the town. The small beach of Glyfoneri, at the bay of Agios Konstantinos can be reached in approximately twenty minutes walk from the house. There is a selection of local tavernas along the road down to the beach with wonderful views to the bay and beyond. SUITABILITY Dolores's House is suitable for one or two couples as well as for families who wish to be close to all of the amenities the town has to offer. CAR HIRE NOT ESSENTIAL
