OBJECT DESCRIPTION |
|
Terraced on the hillside above the solitary road into Gerolakos, this villa has been home to the Papafilipakis family for more than 250 years and Nikos its present owner, has patiently spent the past 3 years transforming it into a quirky and comfortable ‘retreat’ retaining all the immense charm and history of the original building. An abundance of exposed stonework, plus rustic open staircases and wood flooring in the bedrooms create a genteel old world ambience, subtly set off by chic modern bathroom fittings and fascinating decorative touches.
From the road side parking area, stone steps lead up to a high walled gateway to the property, with an entrance door opening onto the terrace where the 38sq. meter swimming pool is located. From here further stone steps lead up to the sunny main courtyard notable for its delightful covered terrace area with rustic table and chairs and mesmerise views up the valley towards the mountains. The villa is suitable for 6 people and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms. There is an open plan kitchen/dining area with 4 ring hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board. The living room has an open fireplace, satellite TV and CD player. Steps lead up to the gallery double bedroom. Detached to this house is a second building with a sitting room with en suite shower with elevated double sleeping platform. In the third building is a sitting room with shower room off and steps lead up to a double bedroom. Gerolakos has a petrol station and a kafenion. Taverns can be found in Kato Horio (3km) and in Malaxa (6km). A mini market is 5km away in Kontopoula. There are available short and long walk rounds to the wild nature. Most characteristic with a wonderful view are Diktamos Gorge, Psihro Pigadi and Volika Shelter. The walk rounds are convenient in a short distance of the Villa and are suitable for trekking. A car ist considered to be essential. |
