Ground Floor
The 4750 sqm plot of Villa Rodanthi greets you with its vineyard and gardens, including fruit trees, olives, and an organic vegetable garden, which you are encouraged to pick from.
Entering the 200 sqm house, the ground floor space is differentiated by open stone archways between rooms, creating a sense of open plan living yet also allowing some segregation. Inside the main entrance, one finds a small vestibule with a desk. Continuing through the space leads to the first dining area with a table that seats 4. Providing a relaxed social space where you can play games and congregate away from the sunlight, it leads to the lounge which offers a homely space with a fireplace and 65" Smart TV. Furnished with comfy sofas, the lounge has been carefully arranged for communal gatherings and to enjoy the view provided from both the windows and patio doors which lead to the pool terrace.
The second and main indoor dining table which seats 8 is found to the side of the lounge, again positioned to enjoy the exterior views but also allowing seamless access to the kitchen. Well sized and fully equipped with appliances, the kitchen provides all the facilities you need to rustle up home-cooked holiday dinners plus a stocked wine fridge (payable locally) so you always have a delicious glass of wine to accompany your meal. A further table for 4 can be found in the kitchen for casual breakfasts and an exterior door leads directly to the barbecue area and outdoor dining table for practical flow.
The first of the five double bedrooms can be found on the ground floor. Characterized by the light stone walls found throughout the house, the room is equipped with a king-size bed (1,60 x 2,00), ample storage space, a mini fridge, 32" Smart TV, and patio doors that lead to a furnished private balcony looking out to the garden. A modern bathroom is available on the ground floor with a toilet, sink, and shower cubicle.
