Ionian Islands, Corfu, Dassia, Greece

Within a five minute stroll of the centre of Dassia, this house is in a surprisingly peaceful location, surrounded by mature trees and with pleasant mountain views.

Built in a traditional style, the front of the house has steps leading up to a covered verandah, and a front door leading into an open plan living/kitchen area, which spreads right across the front of the house. At one end of the living room is an open fireplace, and the other end has the kitchen, with solid wood units.

At the rear of the house are two large double bedrooms, with lots of good quality fitted wardrobes, and in the middle is a spacious family shower room.

The floors throughout are tiled, and the ceilings are wood beamed. Air conditioning has been fitted, also aluminium windows and solar heating.

At the other end of the verandah is the staircase which leads to the upper floor. Underneath the staircase is a large storeroom which houses the central heating system.
Once upstairs, there is a large room at the front, designed to have a kitchen at one end, and two double bedrooms with the bathroom in the centre at the back. In other words, the arrangement is the same as the lower floor.

Outside, the garden is lovely, mainly laid to lawn but with plenty of mature fruit trees. To one side there is a pretty covered circular terrace with a barbeque, and there is also a large store room with plenty of space. The property has its own water supply, so the garden is ideal for keen gardeners.

The surrounding trees favour the illusion of distance from the thriving summer resort of Dassia. Five to ten minutes walk from the garden gates are restaurants, bars, ATMs, tourist information offices, supermarkets, kiosks and, of course, the beach.
