CYCLADIC DREAM  
 
Beautiful house built in stone, on the unspoilt island of Serifos, in Greece. Situated in a rural hillside location with lovely views over the sea. A large, spacious holiday property with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the house will accommodate up to ten people with private pool. Cycladic Dream is rustic, secluded and in a quiet, tranquil position. Only ten minutes walk to the nearest beach and a few minutes drive to the harbour and village nearby.

This lovely villa sits at the end of a long, private unpaved road on the hillside above the sea. Recently built out of local, natural stone it blends in beautifully with the landscape. There is only one other property in the vicinity, and there is perfect quiet.


Accommodation Details
The house can be accessed from two levels. The top level of the house is essentially one big space with a large, fully equipped kitchen, a dining space and a built-in sitting corner with a fireplace. It has magnificent sea views. French doors open to a large veranda on the front of the house, while to the rear is a covered patio with a big dining table. There also is a small study/TV room and a WC.

The bedrooms are downstairs. The master bedroom has a large, stone-built double bed (1.80m), a fireplace and an en suite shower. Next to it is a large bedroom with two built-in single beds and an en suite shower. The third bedroom is a small, romantic room with a double bed (1.60m) and the most beautiful view. Bedroom four is a large space with a wooden double sleeping platform (1.40m) for two people. The third and the fourth bedroom share two bathrooms, one with a small shower and the other with a bath. The four bedrooms all have undisturbed sea views.

Finally, there also is a semi-independent studio with a small double bedroom and a living room with built-in sofas (converts to 2 single beds), a dining corner, a kitchenette, and a shower room. The studio has no sea-view, but opens up to a small patio.

There is a CD sound system and TV with DVD. This is a unique property on Serifos, furnished and decorated in a stylish cycladic manner.

Outside Facilities
Set in an open position on the side of a hill, this stone house has a large terrace to the front with beautiful views to the sea and a covered rear terrace with large dining table for al fresco dining. There is a beautiful 8 x 5 metre fresh water pool with flat loungers and deck chairs and a covered seating area and barbecue. The harbour is less than ten minutes drive away and nearest sandy beaches are less than five minutes drive, or just over ten minutes walk away.

Idyllic for Children: (Owner's childrens' experiences)
The kids roam around a lot. Children can enjoy the freedom of the island and if they are old enough, they can pretty much go where they want during the day. Generally, the island is great for walking. There are some beautiful centuries-old stone paved paths. One of the beaches near the house, Kalo Ambeli, is the kids' favourite. It has beautiful rocks on both sides, and they go on 'trips', partly climbing, partly swimming; they love it. Late afternoon they sometimes walk to the village to go for crepes, or play football with local and other kids. Lots of snorkelling too of course. Then there's fishing. Many guests have left their equipment, which everybody is free to use. Another favourite activity is collecting smooth pebbles at the beach (Ganema is particularly good for that) and painting them. There is a big collection of DVDs in the house. And also lots of board games.


Services
Linen and all towels are supplied and there is cleaning once weekly. Swimming pool cleaned twice a week.

Internet connection is not available but there is good reception if using own wireless card.

Local Area
Only 3 kms away is the port of Livadi, set in a wide greenery fringed bay. Its seafront has many places to eat or to have a drink. You will also find several bakeries, butchers, a handful of fruit shops, supermarkets, a pharmacy and a few art shops. Livadi has a particularly relaxed and easy-going atmosphere. There is a perfect balance between quiet and entertainment, and if you are looking for some nightlife, you won’t be disappointed either.

The island’s ‘capital’, the hora, spectacularly situated at the top of a mountain, is only ten minutes drive from Livadi.. A stroll through the narrow streets of the Hora to the remains of the Venetian Kastro at the top is enough to make a visit to Serifos worth its while.

The mountainous landscape of Serifos offers endless possibilities for hiking and the island is dotted with villages and monasteries worth exploring. The coastline offers an excellent choice of sandy beaches. Most can be reached by car, but others are a short walk. There are two very quiet beaches only a few minutes drive from the house, or 10-15 minutes' walk away, and about a 20 minute walk away is a practically deserted beach which can only be reached by foot.

Directions
By air to the international airport in Athens and then by High-Speed ferry to the island. The High-Speed ferry takes about 2.5 hours.

Testimonials

I had a lovely time in Serifos. Thank you so much for arranging it. This lovely villa was perfect for me and it did indeed have privacy. It also had the most wonderful sea/island view: the panorama made me feel like Odysseus on his way back to Ithica from Troy !
