In love with the island for a few years, we built this house which was delivered at the end of 2020, allowing us to arrange it with care and taste.
The house is 10km (20min) by car from the main port of Chora (capital of the island, 10km away from the airport and less than 10 minutes away from the village of Vivlos). Provide a 4x4 for more tranquility as the last 900m is in dirt and there are 2 important slopes before accessing the house (Cyclades mean roads that are not perfect, important slopes in the islands).
. - IMPORTANT - All the floors have been changed end of 2024 and we added couple of new areas -
.
The house is located at the top of a small mountain, giving it an "eagle's nest"-spirit surrounded by nature and full of charm. It is thus the last house at the top of the hill called Avlia, and therefore not overlooked, with the most beautiful view of the hill. The mineral side combined with a breathtaking view of the sea and Paros (more than 180 degrees view from the capital Chora to the South of the island of Paros & Antiparos) make you feel privileged in front of the spectacle, a true living picture.
The house is semi-detached with a small house on a different level.
.
The sun shines all day long and you will be offered several outdoor spaces to vary your pleasures, all on two levels spread over 1,000m² of land. A space at the entrance of the property will be dedicated to park two cars under a dedicated pergola. Warning: In order to protect our house, we would like to inform you that a surveillance camera is pointed on the entry of the house.
.
On level 0 of the property (living areas of the house, large terrace, swimming pool):
- a terrace area against the house and facing the view, protected by a pergola of 15m²,
- a "BBQ" terrace area protected from the wind by the mountain and a stone wall, offering a permanent barbecue (electric plancha), a sink, a mini-fridge and a hard table for 8/10 people, also facing the sea view, and protected by a 15m² pergola,
- the roof offers the possibility of gaining height.
.
On level -1 of the property (bedrooms, bathrooms and terrace):
- a terrace area in front of the bedrooms on the lower level, with its 15m² pergola so you can isolate yourself and read quietly on a deckchair or have breakfast or a drink (provided with small tables and chairs). A stone staircase connects this terrace to the main one.
.
The house is composed of a large air-conditioned living room (living room and open fitted kitchen and its window in front of the worktop for cooking while enjoying the view). Two double doors give access to the pool area (terraces and different pergola areas).
Access to the bedrooms on level -1 is via a staircase. They all overlook the sea and a terrace under a pergola and are all air-conditioned.
« Guest room »: has storage space (also under the bed), television, terrace access, wireless internet.
« Children's bedroom »: two "hard" bunk beds, and a sofa bed (140x190cm).
These two bedrooms share a bathroom (shower) and a toilet.
« Master bedroom »: has storage space (also under the bed) and its own bathroom (shower) and WC, a television and wireless internet.
A total of 7 beds therefore (the sofa bed in the children's room is not very wide: 140x190cm and not very confortable).
.
The 32m² swimming pool is gray / blue in color and is automatically lit at night (from 8PM).
A hand shower is provided against the rock to rinse you.
An outdoor bathroom is also provided to avoid entering the house each time (shower, toilet and sink).
.
Internet access is via satellite to offer all the comfort of a worthy connection to follow your work meetings on your laptop or watch your favorite series serenely.
.
A JBL Xtreme 2 Bluetooth speaker is available.

Going around the island from the West then North, the road runs along the sea, it's fantastic.
