Overview
The owners tongue in cheek name for this stylish villa could not be more understated! In fact, this fabulous property would be more accurately described in Greek as a 'mikro kastro', or little castle.

An ecletic mix of old and new extends throughout the building, seamlessly fusing traditional stone walls, planed wood ceilings and other natural materials with both timeless and modern furnishings and design concepts.

The bedrooms, sitting room, terrace, barbecue area, pool and garden all have magnificent views of Kalami Bay, stretching onwards across the channel to the mountainous Albanian landscape. Inside, the villa is capacious and luxurious, yet accommodates no more than 4 adults (and sorry, but no children), giving it a truly palatial feel.

Layout
Upper Floor: The original old stone house is now the comfortable indoor sitting room, which is complete with a range of hi-tech entertainment technology. From here the pretty, arched patio doors take you out to a short staircase that leads down to the fabulous upper terrace.
Upper Floor Terrace: Here an expansive terraced area brings the outdoors inside. A curtained undercover seating area with stylish wooden floors and furnishings is surrounded by a further area of open terrace. This suntrap is ideally equipped with loungers, outdoor dining area and state of the art gas barbeque.
Lower Floor: This level is home to the well equipped kitchen. Also here are the two large bedrooms, both en suite. Whilst sumptuous in themselves, their floor to ceiling height sliding glass doors that stretch the length of the outside wall and open directly on the pool make for something very, very special indeed.

Living Room
The original stone house has been converted into a beautifully furnished sitting room. With open fireplace and attractive timbered ceiling it is stylishly decorated with the soft creams, greys and peaches of the classic Timney Fowler fabrics.
The DVD player with screen, Bose I-Pod doc, CD player and radio in this room provide additional entertainment if it is needed.

Kitchen
The attractive kitchen, with its wooden cupboards, granite worktops and large butler style sink, is situated at the back of the building, making it a cool and pleasant space to be in whilst preparing food.
Incorporating a dishwasher, small combination/ microwave/grill oven, halogen hob and large stainless steel fridge freezer it is well equipped for the preparation of meals and snacks. A handy washing machine has also been installed here.

Bedrooms
The two air conditioned bedrooms are also on this level, one with a double and the other on with two singles.

Both are open plan and have opulent corner whirlpool baths, enclosed body jet showers, and vanity wash basins. The toilets are ensuite.
Massive sliding glass doors open directly onto the pool, providing stunning views and the opportunity to quite literally dive out of bed for a morning swim!
The bedrooms are open plan with whirlpool baths and enclosed body jet showers. Sliding glass doors open from the bedrooms directly onto the pool. A particularly impressive feature of this house.

Private Pool
The gorgeous infinity style swimming pool measures a generous 11m x 5m. With wooden sundeck areas at each end, it sits beautifully into the garden, directly in front of the two bedrooms. In addition to the loungers these decks are also furnished with an attractive cafe table and chairs, just right for a leisurely breakfast on a warm summer morning.
A lawned area, citrus and fig trees are just some of the features of this pretty and well designed garden, as are the eight mature olive trees with their silvery leaves below the pool area.
