The exceptional property has been built and reformed by its current owners to an extremely high standard, while still keeping an authentic Greek character. The villa boasts 13 apartments, including 2 Penthouse Suites, while the entire plot counts up to 2.800 m2 including a café, reception, pool and olive grove. After working passionately for many years, it is now time for the owners to retire.
