This airy family house is at
the
top of Kouloundri, a
semi-rural neighbourhood at the back of Symi’s historic harbour and has
panoramic views of Yialos, the Kastro, the Kataraktis and the
Vigla.
Access is about 10 minutes walk up a zig-zag
route of ramps and steps from the motor road at the back of the town
square so
it is not suitable for those with mobility problems or babies in prams,
as it is
quite rough in a few places. It is,
however, definitely worth the climb!
One of a pair of semi
detached
Neo Classical houses, the villa has been
recently restored, retaining the charm of an old Symi farm house but
with the conveniences of modern living. Enter from the path into
a split level terrace area with simple outside kitchen for those nights
when it is too hot to cook indoors. On the lower garden terrace
there is a separate granny flat with twin beds, basic cooking
facilities and separate wet-room style bathroom. Perfect for
teenagers, grandparents or a couple.

Terrace Views
The
entrance to the main house is into a farmhouse kitchen with full
electric cooker and stone work surfaces. The old cistern
adjoining the kitchen has been converted into an unusual small double
bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, built in sleeping platform and a
separate entrance onto the terrace as well as an inter-leading door
into the kitchen. This could be considered to be the most private
bedroom.


The other door from the salon leads into a small
vestibule which can
also be accessed from the bedroom and the main bathroom leads off this
vestibule. This is also a wet-room style bathroom. There is
a private terrace at the back of the house with stone benches which has
morning shade.

This property is suitable for a family of 4 to 8 or
for up to 3
couples. Air conditioned upstairs. The perfect Greek island escape!
