Villa Cariso

Description

Be among the first to experience Villa Cariso, designed and decorated by a leading Greek architect. It is the perfect destination for (up to) 10 vacationers looking to experience Greek island life in its full majesty. With 5 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and shower, a private pool, a fully-equipped kitchen, a fully-fenced garden and expansive courtyard, a Weber gas BBQ, and Wi-Fi everywhere--inside and poolside, you’ll have everything needed to bask in the luxury of Spetses. Built on a hill, Villa Cariso is ten minutes’ walk from Dapia, the central port of Spetses with its restaurants, shopping, and buzz, yet the location affords you peace, tranquility, and a panoramic view of a glorious sunrise over the neighboring island of Hydra, the azure Spetses Straits, and the cosmopolitan Spetses town. A short scooter ride to the Old Harbor gives you easy access to nightlife, a stroll alongside the moored yachts, and fine dining.

This brand-new villa (finished in Summer 2019) includes 5 spacious bedrooms, each one with its private bathroom (shower/toilet) and outfitted in a specific theme. Explore the comfort of each bedroom and enjoy your stay in modern comforts with personal touches.

• Top level: The Vintage Soul master bedroom evokes the touches of a bygone era. It has a traditional king-size bed with individually adjustable mattresses to personalize your comfort. In the Blue Sea bedroom, the king-size bed can be easily reconfigured into two single beds. The two bedrooms share a 12 sqm (130 sqft) open-air, sea-facing balcony with a jaw-dropping view. Lounge in comfort under the provided umbrella and enjoy sunrise or sunset with a glass of wine or a complimentary shot of our own Limoncello, prepared from local lemons renowned for their fragrance.

• Main level: From the front gate of the property, walk up a few steps surrounded by the fragrance of jasmine surrounded by bougainvillea. The main level is comprised of an open-concept kitchen with adjoining dining room, guest WC, and a comfortable living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a large flat-screen smart TV. Alternatively, have ouzo and fresh fish at the beautifully tiled dining table on the large covered sea-facing balcony.

• Pool level: The Autumn Leaves and the Seagulls bedrooms both have king-size beds, which can be separated into single beds, as your needs dictate. The two bedrooms open to the large courtyard and pool via French doors. Further inside, the Boat Cabin has a roomy bunk bed for the sailors in your party. In the spacious courtyard, an oversized table that seats fourteen diners comfortably, an outdoor bar, wicker furniture and comfortable lounge chairs are there for the enjoyment of your food and beverage poolside.

The kitchen is fully stocked with modern cooking appliances, making it hassle-free to whip up a home-cooked feast. Enjoy indoor dining around the table or move the party outdoors, celebrating the sights of the sea, nearby islands, and town. Take to the outdoor lounge, dangle your legs in the pool, be surrounded by sea and mountain breezes, and enjoy the mouth-watering aroma coming from the Weber grill. Soak up the sun on an outdoor recliner and plan your next Vespa ride through the hills, collecting sights, fragrances, and views.
