Located in the hills directly above the Old Harbour of Spetses, this beautiful and elegant country house is surrounded by nature and olive groves, where the only sound are the cicadas or goat bells on the breeze, and with views of the Saronic Gulf and its islands unfurling below.
The style of the property encapsulates both the neo-classical heritage of the island and the gentle beauty of its Mediterranean landscape almost Tuscan in style. The property iis tasteful and aristocratic in every way from the distemper painted ochre walls to the dove grey wooden shutters and stone flagged flooring.
The sweeping approach, through the grounds of the estate leads to the main entrance of the property which is grand and in style. There is a long hallway with stairs leading to the upper level, a door leading to the front terrace, the living room on the left and a master bedroom suite on the right and guest WC.
The living room is beautifully furnished with antique wooden cabinets and comfortable sofas which surround a large coffee table in front of a lovely open hearth. There is Satellite TV plus an excellent stereo sound system. French windows lead from the living room onto the main terrace. The kitchen and dining area are located off the living room. The farmhouse style kitchen is well equipped with all modern conveniences including espresso machine and dishwasher and the indoor dining area is an elegant and airy space.
The main terrance outside is large and on two sides. Accessed from the kitchen, there is a perfect outdoor dining area under a shady pergola. The terrace continues around to the front of the property where there is an outdoor living area where guests can enjoy the beauty of the view, and it is a very special spot to enjoy a cocktail at sundown with the view of the islands of Hydra and Dhokos in the distance.

From the main terrace, pathways and steps meander to the many different levels of the property.
