INTERIOR Entering the enormous living/dining room of Villa Jura, striking
features abound. First of course are the tall windows covering nearly
every side of the room, with dazzling views in all directions. Next
is the sleek starkness of the decor.
Modern, yet comfortable furniture is plentiful, a tall fireplace
centred between the immense expanse of windows makes an incomparable
design.
Glass doors lead to a teak terrace which runs the full length of
the house and allows spacious areas for outdoor dining or sunning.
Shelves and walls are covered with authentic art objects and oriental
antiques. The blue polished concrete floor, combined with the light
and space of the room, give a feel of the outdoors.
From the living room area is an open plan kitchen with an Indian antique painted cupboard serving as an island in the large room. The same huge windows allow for plenty of light and a feel as if you are cooking outside. The modern appliances, such as built-in oven, dishwasher, microwave oven and fridge, are stainless steel and of top quality. The mix of modern and antique, blend to contribute to the villa's unique style. From the kitchen is a small alcove with a w/c shower room. The entire main floor of the villa is air-conditioned.
Down the hallway are two bedrooms, both with double beds and one with en-suite w/c shower room. Carried through are the identical vast windows with their unmatched views of clear blue sea and Greek blue sky. There are doors from each bedroom which lead to the front teak terrace with small dividing walls for privacy. Here you can sit for hours enjoying the nature and quiet of this special place.
Situated below the main villa and reached via a stone stairway are 2 bedrooms with separate entrances, both with ceiling fans and en-suite w/c shower room. Between them there is a connecting door which can be locked and used as two private rooms, or left open for families with small ones. It is tastefully decorated in the same modern, yet comfortable style as the main villa. There is a large patio with plenty of space for outdoor living and enjoys the same impressive views as the upper level. It has a small outdoor area with fridge, sink and gas ring for making coffee or tea.
EXTERIOR The unusual design of Villa Jura is that it is cut into a hill,
with stone walls on each side and a planted area on the roof which
helps it to blend well with the nature and curve of the hillside.
The teak decking is carried through to the pool area, which is located
on an outcropping of the land in the most prime spot on the property
overlooking the beach and bay of Steni Vala below and the island of
Peristera beyond. The decking is built into the rocks underneath and
makes the pool seem to hang in the air, with nothing but bright blue
sea below. Next to the kitchen and the living room, there is a BBQ
area furnished with outdoor table and chairs to dine as the summer
sun sets or under the stars at night. The supreme position of the
pool and exquisite views from the house, will ensure you will spend
little time away from your villa.
SURROUNDINGS Villa Jura is set alone in the hills above the fishing village
of Steni Vala. Its private location ensures peace and serenity with
nature and olive groves surrounding. A short 5 minute drive leads
you though, to the gorgeous little port of Steni Vala, a must-see
for all visitors to Alonissos. Its protected turquoise waters are
a natural harbour and home to many of the local caiques that ply
the waters for local fish.
The catch is sold directly to the small tavernas that
line the waters' edge and is the best place for seafood on the island.
Small water taxis depart from the port in high season, providing
service to the many nearby beaches including one of the islands'
best, Agios Dimitrios.
For those who like to walk, a foot path leads from
the bottom of the villa down to the beach in approximately 6 minutes
and a further 4 minutes bring you to Steni Vala. Steni Vala also
has a small beach and a couple of mini-markets. The main port town
of Patitiri, with all its amenities such as shops, supermarkets
and restaurants is a 20 minute drive away.
SUITABILITY Villa Jura is tailor made for the discerning traveler who wants
first class accommodation in a countryside setting. It is great
for families and the bottom level studio apartment makes an ideal
space for those who want privacy. Villa Jura is also a perfect hide-away
for a romantic couple who want the incomparable views and quality
that this villa offers. Due to the steep drops from the terraces,
the property is not suitable for children under 12.
