INTERIOR
This large, newly built house is a stunning and unique combination of modern and traditional, richness and character all rolled into one fantastic villa. As you enter, your first impression is the feeling of spaciousness and openness.

The red tiled floors, stained open beamed ceilings and wood details all blend to make a warm comfortable look to these generous rooms. Designed for large families and parties, the villa offers a roomy, modern kitchen complete with built-in oven, dishwasher and microwave. With a blend of stainless steel appliances and plentiful stained wooden cupboards, this well equipped kitchen makes cooking fun and easy. The kitchen is open plan and is next to the dining room, which boasts a large wooden dining table and French doors leading out to a terrace that runs the length of the house. Here on the terrace, you will find another big wooden table for al fresco dining. The dazzling views from both inside and out are of whitewashed town houses spilling down to the harbour, views to the sea and the neighbouring island of Alonissos and of gentle olive green hillsides surrounding you. Just opposite the dining room there is a sitting area with built-in style sofa and lamp to cuddle up with your favourite book.

Down a step from this level is a sunken living room, open plan to the rest of the rooms. It is complete with a corner fireplace, again with built-in style sofa and French doors on two sides, one of which leads to the outdoor dining area and the other to the pool.

The four bedrooms of Villa Kamares are spacious and comfortable. A small hallway to the left of the front door reaches the bedroom on the main level of the house. This double-bedded room has open beamed ceilings, large wardrobe space and French doors leading out to the front terrace and a barbeque on the side of the house. Also off the hallway is a w/c shower room, conveniently located right next door to the bedroom.The other spacious bedrooms are found on the lower level of the house, reached by a red tiled stairway descending from the dining room to a hallway at the bottom. Here you will find three bedrooms, one with two twin beds and the others with double beds.

The great feature of this house is that each bedroom has an en suite w/c shower room. Each of the rooms also has French doors leading to the lower level terrace which runs along the front of the house. Each bedrooms terrace area is furnished with a table and chairs and offers a private area to sit out and appreciate the same stunning views as the upper level terrace. Sit under the stone built arches, or 'kamares' in Greek, which are the trademark of the house, or a bit further out in the Greek summer sun and top up your tan, all just a step outside your private bedroom.

EXTERIOR
Villa Kamares is a newly built house with great attention paid to detail. Quality has been the keynote, from its furnishings to its building style, with beautiful stone arches and a well thought out design. The pool area is located at the side of the house and is accessed through the French doors from the living room. Pretty, low stone walls and lush landscaping surround it. There is plenty of opportunity for sunbathing on the abundant lounges or just sitting around and relaxing in the peaceful privacy of your own pool.There is also a large table and chairs for outdoor meals to be enjoyed with lovely views down to the bay below. (Pool can be heated at extra charge - advance notice required).

SURROUNDINGS
Villa Kamares is situated in the hills behind the town and is accessed by a narrow, steeply winding road just above the town centre (good driving skills necessary). From the house to the port is about a 7-minute drive and to walk from the house to the nearest restaurant, about 15 minutes. Its convenient location makes it a great choice for those wanting the privacy and quiet of the countryside whilst being very close to the towns’ amenities. Its location on the hillside, surrounded by olive groves and crisscrossed with donkey paths, makes it ideal for walkers and hikers.Below the house and within a 5-minute walk, there is a fresh water spring with an inlaid sarcophagus lid dating from the 5th century B.C. and the road leading to Villa Kamames belongs to a 300 year-old road network linking Skopelos town with Glossa. Another walk, to the small beach of Glyfoneri takes approximately 45 minutes. Here, on the steep road leading down to the beach, is an array of typical tavernas with fabulous views out to sea.

SUITABILITY
The design and layout of Villa Kamares is perfect for large get-togethers. This lovely, well-appointed house with its great attention to detail stands out above other villas. It is ideal for a family reunion or group of friends who wish for privacy in a beautiful pool villa with fantastic views.
