INTERIOR
Kanaris Pool Cottage is designed to incorporate both the old genuine farmhouse and the newly built addition into an eclectic blend of rustic and traditional décor. Entering into a small room used as an entry hall, several small stairways lead in different directions and levels, heading to different parts of the house. The sitting room is found down a few stairs on the ground floor and has a corner fireplace and views from its French doors out to the private pool. The fully equipped kitchen is located at one end of the room and the casual furnishings are arranged for maximum comfort.
The level above the sitting room is a bedroom furnished with two single beds and has French doors leading to a private balcony. The views from here are fantastic toward the sea and the neighbouring island of Alonissos. There is a modern and spacious w/c shower room en-suite to the bedroom. This bedroom does not have a door closing it off and is situated above, but is open to the entry hall level. Ladder-like stairways lead to both levels of the new section of the house which might not be suitable for those with walking disabilities.
The oldest section of the cottage has a stone stairway leading from the entry hall to a lovely master bedroom furnished with a double bed. The original dark wooden floors and decorative fireplace are both re-furbished remnants of the original farmhouse along with the open beamed wooden ceiling. The views from this room are stunning and the many windows allow for a light and sunny atmosphere. The w/c shower room is situated in the entry hall and is again one of the re-furbished, but original sections of the house. The stone floor and low ceiling give an older touch to the updated fixtures.
EXTERIOR
Kanaris Pool Cottage exterior areas are some of its best features.
Its lone location on a small bluff allows for stunning views in
all directions and lots of sunny spaces. It is surrounded by mature
olive, walnut, almond, cypress, plum and fig trees which add to
the character of the property which reveals itself as a working
farmhouse. Its hillside location enjoys light summer breezes from
the sea that keep the temperatures pleasant even in the height of
the season. The recent addition of the private swimming pool adds
the best of both worlds, old and new.
SURROUNDINGS
The convenient location of Kanaris Pool Cottage makes getting to
town and beaches in under 10 minutes a great selection for many.
Both of the closest beaches to the cottage, Glysteri and Glyfoneri,
have a selection of tavernas specializing in local cuisine as well
as fresh fish. Just a few minutes' drive further brings you to Skopelos
town where there are supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and nightlife.
Although the town is so close, guests at Kanaris Cottage may often
choose to eat at home to make the most of the sublime serenity of
this secluded setting. The location of the cottage is perfect for
those who like to explore by foot. It is surrounded by country lanes
and trails. Those who like walking can also reach the beaches by
foot.
Please note** the local taxi service to this house goes only to the end of the dirt-track driveway. Guests will need to walk the last 100m to reach the cottage when going by taxi.
SUITABILITY
Kanaris Pool Cottage is very well suited for both couples and families
wanting a traditional cottage and a private swimming pool. An added
bonus is that in just a few minutes by car, you find several lovely
beaches and the amenities of Skopelos Town.
