Villa Amaryllis: newbuilt stonevilla, 107 s.m., 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room, fire, kitchen, garden, ext. parking.
This house is built on a small development overlooking olive groves, grape yards and the distant mountains and is within walking distance of an attractive Cretan village and close to the main coastal highway. Heraklion airport only 50 minutes drive away. The nearest beach would be at the village of Panormo with its attractive fishing harbour and variety of tavernas.
This house is built from natural stone by artisans who are experts in buildings of this type. The stonework is beautifully dressed and fully treated for moisture resistance. The mortar used in the construction also has a moisture inhibitor. The stonework is a refreshing change from the more modern type of construction now widely available in Crete and has a completely different look and feel. Offering cool interiors during the hot summer months, and a wonderful traditional feeling.
The ground floor offers a fully fitted kitchen, a spacious living area, bedroom W.C. and an outside covered area with attractive feature fireplace. 1st floor offers large airy bedroom, W.C and shower room, and terrace with unbeatable views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby village.
Villa Amaryllis was built in a fully Eco Friendly spirit and was designed & supervised by Mrs. Kalergis, architect, owner's wife.
The owner is a med. doctor himself, so you can have medical advice or stay under medical follow up if necessary.
