INTERIOR
Entering into the top floor of this lovely two-storey house, the large open-planned space includes a kitchen, dining room and sunken living room with plenty of windows to admire the view and French doors leading out to a large terrace. The room has open wood-beamed ceilings and wooden floors and each spacious area is decorated in a warm, uncluttered style. With natural wood cabinets and a big wooden dining table, the small kitchen is modern and well equipped and includes a dishwasher. The dining area is raised above the sunken living room, allowing for views out to the terrace and the hillsides beyond. A step down brings you into the living room, with corner fireplace and traditional built-in sofa seating that is cushioned with a pretty fabric of blues and greens. There is a television and a good selection of books on the shelves lining the walls. From the living room there are two double French doors leading out to an immense terrace.

The views are 180' degrees from the top of the town with its crumbling 'Kastro' walls and on to the red-tiled roofs, the sea and Alonissos in the distance as well as the monasteries on the hillsides opposite and then towards the Stafilos valley, covered in olive trees. Looking in this direction you can see completely across the island to the sea on the other side.With its tables and comfortable furniture, this is a place you can sit for hours watching the busy harbour below and enjoying the peace and beauty of this tranquil spot.A stairway near the entrance leads down to the lower level where there are two spacious bedrooms each tastefully decorated, one with en-suite w/c shower. There is another w/c shower in the hallway. Both bedrooms have a double bed, sea-facing views from the windows and French doors out to the pool area. The pool area may also be reached from a door in the hallway on this level as well as a third and completely separate bedroom with double bed and en-suite w/c shower room. This ample room is decorated in a country island style with double French doors leading straight onto the pool terrace.

EXTERIOR
Surrounded by a privacy wall, Villa Fegari is beautifully landscaped and has a gated entrance. Pretty bougainvillea and pots filled with blooming flowers greet you at the front door. This elegantly designed house is traditional in style and spills down the steep hillside, giving it such spectacular views. The partially covered terrace off the kitchen is one of the best features of the house.

This enchanting space is filled with terracotta pots brimming with flowers and pretty blue cushions with an abundance of pillows for added comfort. A perfect place for a sunny breakfast, looking down upon the kidney shaped pool and further to the sweeping views of sea and hillsides. BedroomOne can easily imagine long, leisurely meals or just relaxing in the shade enjoying this wonderful atmosphere. From this terrace, stairs lead down to the beautiful pool area, where colourful bougainvillea growing against white washed walls lend it a real Mediterranean look. From here, whether swimming or sunbathing, the same dazzling views are enjoyed. There is also an outdoor w/c shower room not far from the pool area.

SURROUNDINGS
Villa Fegari is conveniently located in the hills above the town and can be reached in approximately 7 minutes by car from the port and picturesque waterfront of Raches. En route to the house are two beaches; Glyfoneri and Glysteri. Glyfoneri is about 4 minutes drive from the house and its small beach is reached by a steep road with several quaint tavernas perched above the sea offering local fare and fabulous views. The other beach, Glysteri, can be reached in approximately 10 minutes drive from the house and is a protected north-facing inlet with a shingle beach. The clear blue water here is cooler than the islands' southern beaches and a taverna is set right next to the sea, offering freshly caught seafood and traditional Greek dishes. For those with an adventurous spirit, start out in the other direction from the house and you will find a rough dirt road, which leads straight across the island to the bay of Panormos with its expanse of white pebble beach and good selection of seaside tavernas. This drive should take about 45 minutes, allowing for a wrong turn or two. Along the way, a turn off leads to the highest peak of the island at 680 m, Delphi, as well as to the Neolithic graves of Sendukia. This interesting site, reached in about 30 minutes walk from the dirt road where a car can be left, has several tomb-like holes carved into the giant stones that make up the hilltop. On a clear day, the views stretch as far as the Halkidiki peninsula and Mt. Athos on the northern mainland of Greece. As well as driving to these points of interest, the villa is a great starting point for walkers. This area has plenty of opportunities for explorers, either for the hearty hiker or those just wanting a morning stroll in the Greek countryside.

SUITABILITY
Villa Fegari is the perfect hideaway for the discerning traveller who desires a well-equipped and stylish villa with spectacular views. It's large size and the privacy of the bedrooms makes it the perfect choice for couples and families alike.
