Villa Thalia | Gastouri

Villa Thalia commands a position which enjoys the best views of the whole area. Perched high above the sea, the views of the South East coast are simply spectacular.

This lovely villa of traditional Mediterranean architecture is well located and extremely private, the property is located up a secluded driveway and set in lush private gardens of almost 5,000m2. Here you will find many tropical foliage with Palms, Yuccas, 20 Olive Trees and surrounded by tall Pine Trees.

On entering the front door you are met by a grand staircase of antique brick which winds up the centre of the building giving a light and airy feel. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen with oak cupboards and tiled tops. The view from the marble sink is utterly mesmerizing. All the modern appliances are here such as electric oven with ceramic hob, dishwasher, microwave & tall fridge freezer.

Off the kitchen there is a circular dining room with lots of windows enjoying the views, and on a slightly lower level a large spacious sitting room again of circular design with numerous windows. Through the French Windows the infinity pool blends effortless into the sea below with the sky above creating an illusion of three shades of turquoise.. The ground floor also provides a double room and a modern family shower room.

The huge Master Bedroom of circular design is on the first floor with French windows leading out onto the very large balcony overlooking the sea. A smaller single bedroom on the first floor has a pull out sofa bed which could accommodate one large adult or 2 children or 2 small adults. Both rooms share the large family bathroom with walk in shower enjoying more spectacular views.

Less than a five minute drive into the village of Gastouri with its traditional tavernas and the famous Achilleion Palace, and a further five minutes down to the delightful resort of Benitses with its great choice of tavernas and cafes.
