Villa Thalassa
A short description
Villa Thalassa is a three bedroom villa, with a large living area and kitchen, two big
balconies for you to enjoy the breathtaking views and a private pool.
The villa is a level higher than the street, adding to privacy but also
to the views. The outside area is paved with local stone and has flower beds
planted with a variety of aromatic local herbs: thymian, marjorane, oregano,
lorbeer, peppermint, jasmin.
The pool (7m x 4m, 1.40 m deep) is at the side of the house, with inviting light-blue
coloured water. There is an outside shower as well as a number of poolside sunbeds.
A sunsail offers shade during the long sunny hours.
On the ground floor there are the three bedrooms: one double, two twin.
The double bed has a extra size of 160X200cm and the twin beds (each 90X200)
can be pushed together to form a double bed without leaving a gap between the matresses.
In each bedroom there is a floor-to-ceiling built-in white wardrobe,
as well as two bed-side tables. The bedrooms are all equiped with air-conditioning units
that also have a heating function, that might be needed very early or very late in the
season. No two bedrooms have adjoining walls, ensuring privacy among the guests.
One of the twin bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower.
Another bathroom shared by the guests of the other two rooms has a full-size bathtube.
The bathrooms are both elegantly tiled in mosaic colored and white tiles. The washbasins
lie on tiled vanity shelves.
A wide staircase made of local stone leads to the upper floor with the kitchen and
the living-room. Under an impressive 6 m high white wooden roof you will find the conveniently spacious kitchen.
The cupboards and selves are hand-crafted and reflect the
traditional style. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances, including everything
from a toaster to a dishwasher. Two doors lead to the large front balcony, with a big table, chairs and the BBQ.
There is plenty of shade at all times under a big yellow umbrella.
On the other side of the upper floor, there is a dining-table and the living-room area
with the fire-place.
A comfortable Bo Concept couch is large enough for all the guests and can sleep two
more persons. Another extra
sleeping place is provided as a BoConcept folding bed. You can enjoy
films or music from a Canton 5+1 surround system, including a TV, a DVD/MP3 player as well as
a satellite receiver. The room opens to a second balcony with magnifiscent view on the whole Apokoronas
district, the mountains and Almyrida bay.
