Lupin

Historical house that has been restored with simplicity featuring a beautiful garden and pool in quiet surroundings yet close to amenities

Villa Lupin is a graceful Neo-Classical house dating from the 19th Century. Its spacious rooms, high ceilings and large windows give a light and restful feel throughout. The main hallway features an antique tiled floor and a beautiful antique carved wooden bench. To the right of the hallway is an airy living room with cream wood floors and windows looking out over the colourful garden. A comfortable sofa and armchairs are situated around the fireplace and for music-lovers there is also a fine piano.

To the left of the hallway is the first double bedroom. This is a very peaceful room with double height ceilings and features a fragment of a beautiful old fresco on its walls. Further down the hallway is a children’s bedroom decorated in duck-egg blue with a set of bunk beds. From the hallway, three wooden steps lead through a metre-thick archway to the kitchen/dining area with its cool terracotta-tiled floors.

The kitchen is a farm-house style kitchen with nicely painted wooden cupboards and features a large old marble sink. It’s very well equipped and includes a dishwasher, full sized oven, fridge/freezer. The long monastic-style dining table with benches and the antique tiled floor are a very nice feature and doors lead from the dining area to a quiet patio which is perfect in the early morning for coffee in the cool of the day.

From the kitchen, a passageway leads down to the main bathroom with shower and WC.

The third bedroom is accessed via a stairway from the kitchen area. This bedroom has a double bed and doors leading out to a veranda with views over Spetses and out over the Aegean Sea. This bedroom also has its own bathroom with shower and WC

The guest house is part of the main house building but has its own independent access from the garden. The guest house has recently been renovated and the bed configuration changed - it now has 3 single beds with its own bathroom with shower and WC. The guest house also has a new air-conditioning unit.

The property features WIFI and TV, and is well set up for families with babies since 2 cots can be provided. There is air-conditioning in the master bedroom upstairs, a new ceiling fan in the second bedroom and a ceiling fan on the veranda under the pergola.

The surrounding gardens are delightful. Tall, colourful lupins sway in the breeze and punctuate the abundant flowers and herbs in the wide herbaceous borders and the pebble-mosaic pathways create an elegant formality to the design.

Nestled into the garden is a large swimming pool surrounded by a spacious terrace with plenty of sun-loungers. The veranda next to the house has an area perfect for alfresco dining under the shade of a mature tree where in-built stone sofas with cushions offer a perfect space to relax during the hottest hours of the day.

Villa Lupin is located in a peaceful and private position just above the main town of Dapia. This is a very central spot - equal distance to both Aghias Mammas beach and Kounoupitsa beach. The shops, tavernas and cafes at Dapia are also within easy reach either by foot or by bicycle.

This is a property that would suit families looking for a quiet place to relax who would enjoy the simplicity of an authentically renovated Spetsiot house with beaches, shops and tavernas easily reached without the need for motorised transport.

An elegant Neo-Classical property with four bedrooms that has been restored with simplicity, featuring a beautiful garden and swimming pool in quiet surroundings yet close to beach, shops and tavernas.
