This very special property sits in a quiet location, with beautiful views over the sea and the unspoilt Akamas peninsula. The beach is approximately 2 kilometres away, and the nearby town of Polis, with its good selection of restaurants, tavernas, shops and colourful daily market, is about 5 minutes by car.
Designed by its artist owner, the villa and its grounds are a haven of peace and tranquillity, offering total privacy and relaxation, with extensive outdoor areas designed to be used to the full. At the heart of the property is a delightful central courtyard with white-washed Arabic style arches, exotic palms and brightly coloured flowers. On two levels, the upper level has been created into a romantic outdoor seating and dining area, while the lower area has a barbecue, traditional stone oven and water feature. The large tropical garden has huge palm trees providing natural shade, and verandas on all sides of the villa offer different places to sit either in the sun or shade. The swimming pool (12 x 6m) has a small overflow pool at one end, with seating, perfect for sitting and enjoying a cold drink. The pool terrace is furnished with sun loungers and there is a pool bar and laundry room, WC and shower.
The interiors are filled with character and charm with stone arches, beamed ceilings and open fireplaces. Thick stone walls and floors ensure that the villa is cool in summer and warm in winter. The many amenities include satellite television (limited English channels), VCR, DVD and air conditioning/heating units in the bedrooms and the living room. A former artist’s studio has been transformed into a day room/children’s play room, with many books, toys and drawing table and materials. Comfortable seating and a drinks’ fridge make this room an ideal refuge from the hot sun.
