Upon entering the front door at Villa Kolimnos, you immediately feel the country quality of the house. The stone built fireplace dominates the living room, as does the lofty wood beamed roof which houses a spacious loft area on one side. The loft is reached by a steep spiral staircase and has the possibility to sleep 1-2 persons on small fold-out chairs. Though the best feature of the loft is the door leading to a roomy terrace/sunning area. The views are wonderful facing east to the sea and the island of Alonissos and south toward the valleys. This spot boasts the loveliest sunrises.
The living room is furnished with traditional built-in sofas (which can be used as two single beds), and a coffee table in front of the fireplace and is open plan to the country-style kitchen and terra cotta tiled flooring. With plenty of seating around a wooden kitchen table and pretty curtained cupboards, a w/c shower room is reached on one side of the kitchen wall and the master bedroom on the other. The spacious master bedroom is furnished with an antique wardrobe, its own private entrance and en-suite w/c shower room.
There is a loft platform bed which gives an added possibility for 1-2 children to sleep in with their parents, but is reached by steep wooden ladder so is not suitable for small children. A second and separate bedroom is accessed from the patio area next to the front door. This smaller bedroom is simply furnished with a double bed, desk under the window and closet.
