The North Wing

The principal house of the estate.

A master suite with its own balcony, and the fireplace the whole estate gathers to.

The North Wing holds the head of the courtyard: a master suite behind twin stone arches with a covered balcony over the bay, three more bedrooms up in the tower, one of the estate’s two full kitchens, the dining room, and a living room built around the fire. Five guests sleep in comfort, up to seven with the roll-away beds drawn out.

Off the master, a covered balcony with a swing seat and the whole bay below, morning coffee with the sunrise over the Aegean, shade by noon.

The Kitchen

The first of the two kitchens.

Stocked to cook for the whole table, spices and basics already in the cupboards.

The North Wing kitchen: hob and oven under the chimney hood, butcher's-block island beneath the pendant lamp, shuttered doors open to the light — THE NORTH WING KITCHEN

A full kitchen

Cooker and oven, a large fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, toaster and mixer, with cookware in depth and the dresser stacked with dishes, cutlery and glassware.

Set for a houseful

Hand-me-down pine dressers and a modern cold chain side by side, the estate’s way: antiques where it counts, appliances where it matters.

Living Room & Fireplace

The hall the whole estate gathers to.

Stone arches, blue-striped sofas, and the fire for the winter months.

The living room

Sofas for the whole party beneath the arches, satellite TV with DVD for slow evenings, and lanterns and antiques in every niche, furniture hand-crafted in wood and iron, as the house was.

The carved stone fireplace of the North Wing with its iron candle sconce above the mantel, fire irons standing ready beside it — THE FIREPLACE, LAID AND WAITING

The fireplace

A carved stone hearth at the heart of the wing. With full heating throughout the villa besides, the estate keeps its welcome in every season.

The full sweep of the living hall: arches opening one into another, the staircase climbing behind the sofas, shuttered windows in the stone walls — THE HALL, ARCH OPENING INTO ARCH

Built of stone quarried from its own land, every arch in this room came out of the hillside it stands on.

The television on its pine chest between arched windows, a row of iron lanterns on the floor and a carved shorebird beside the stair — THE TELEVISION CORNER, ITS LANTERNS BELOW

A sitting corner of the hall: striped sofas under the stone arch, the drinks tray on its folding stand and a potted tree by the courtyard door — THE SITTING CORNER, BY THE COURTYARD DOOR

The staircase of the North Wing turning up through a bare stone archway, its timber rail polished with use — THE STAIR, THROUGH THE STONE ARCH

Two rattan armchairs in the sun room, its three glazed doors filled edge to edge with the blue of the Aegean fifty metres below — THE SUN ROOM, ALL ITS DOORS ON THE SEA

The Dining Room

One long table, laid for the evening.

A farmhouse table beneath the iron chandelier, arches on three sides, set with the dresser’s full stock when the whole party sits down together.

The dining table laid with striped runners, painted glasses and fruit on the sideboard behind — THE TABLE, SET FOR DINNER

The anteroom by the dining hall: an iron daybed with linen cushions under the arch, the pine dresser of green crockery against the wall — THE ANTEROOM, ITS IRON DAYBED WAITING

The Bedrooms

A room with its own fire

A carved single bed, a writing desk under the arch, a shelf of books, and a small hearth of its own in the corner.

The timber-framed beds of the children's room, steps climbing past the stone-arched doorway to its own terrace door — THE CHILDREN’S ROOM, ITS TERRACE STEPS

The children’s favourite

Timber-framed beds, shelves of seaside treasures, and steps up to a door of its own, the room every younger guest claims first.

The children's room in detail: timber bed frame beside whitewashed niches shelved with model boats, clocks and seagull figurines — SHELVES OF SEASIDE THINGS
