Villa Posidonia

About this property

Enjoy a fabulous holiday in Villa Posidonia, a family-friendly villa located in the quiet residential district of the holiday hot spot of Loutraki, on the mainland of Greece. Villa Posidonia has a unique configuration, a detached property built over three floors, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, living, working, and storage spaces, all surrounded by a garden with its own private pool and sea views. The villa can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, and due to the layout, it is ideal for a large family gathering, or a group of friends’ get together.

Villa Posidonia is constructed of classic white stone, pale paving, and floor to ceiling windows that flood the villa with natural light, and in return offers some stunning sea and mountain views. There is private parking in a secure underground garage, and the villa comes with complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout. The interior has been furnished to the highest standards, using only the best quality fixtures and fittings, and decorated with a neutral palette of black and white, and brown and cream. Every comfort has been catered for, such as anatomic mattresses on all of the beds, and the attention to detail on entertainment amenities is second to none, including smart thirty two inch televisions in every bedroom.

Villa Posidonia has three luxurious connected living spaces over the three floors. Enter the villa via the ground floor, which can be accessed from the basement garage, or directly through the surrounding garden. Here you will find an open plan living space with floor to ceiling sliding doors that give access to a furnished balcony and stairs to the pool terrace. The spacious seating area has two sets of cream leather suites, one a large wrap around L-shaped sofa, and the other a classic three piece suite. Both sets are arranged around smoked glass coffee tables, and facing a smart flat screen television, and an enclosed glass fronted fireplace, perfect for the cooler months and evenings. The adjacent dining area has a classic wood table with six soft beige velour chairs and two cream and brown carvers, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The black and white and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family sized Miele fridge freezer, a built in oven and microwave, and an integral must-have morning coffee maker. There is an island workspace, which can be used as a breakfast bar with funky white stools. On the ground floor there is one double bedroom with baby cot, and a bedroom that is home to a toddler bed, and a shared bathroom with a bath tub, two handbasins, and a walk-in hydromassage shower.

Take the stairs to the first floor, where there is another lovely living space with floor to ceiling sliding doors that lead out onto a balcony with panoramic views. There is an elephant grey three seater sofa and matching armchair, with a contrasting green easy chair, and wooden coffee table. Leading from the living area is a bedroom with bunk beds, and a large bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, with a shared bathroom that has a bath tub and separate shower. For those who wish to work whilst away there is an office space with desk and ergonomic chair. Take the stairs to the basement where there is a further living area furnished with an easy chair, a four seater dining table, and a beige and white fully equipped kitchen. There is one large double bedroom in the basement, and a separate bathroom with walk-in shower. There is also lots of storage space to house all of your luggage, and a laundry room for your holiday washing. Further sleeping arrangements can be organised with use of a sofa bed in the living areas, and an airbed.

The pool terrace can be accessed via the garden and from the basement and ground floor. The step entry heated pool measures an impressive eight by four metres, and varies in depth from one and half metres to two metres twenty. The pool benefits from an electrolysis cleaning system, which means no chemicals are used to maintain it. The pool also has a counter swimming workout facility and a hydromassage system, ideal if you fancy a workout swimming against the tide. Luxurious Iroko wooden sun loungers with comfy cream cushions surround the pool, with matching parasols to offer some shade from the afternoon sun. Relax in the swing seat with this year’s best seller, or enjoy a coffee as the sun rises on the soft seating arranged around the terrace. Enjoy dining alfresco at the outside dining table, with local dishes cooked on the built in stone barbeque with kitchen preparation area. There is a Little Tikes Endless Adventure play area on the green grass lawn, with swings and slides, and goal posts and a trampoline for your little ones. Whilst your older ones may fancy a game of archery or a ride to the local village on the complimentary bikes.

For the grown ups there is a Fitness area with a treadmill, bike, and weight lifting equipment. As well as bar with stools, a full size Buffalo Eliminator II nine foot American pool table, a table football, a sixty five inch smart tv to watch all your favourite films in front of an enclosed fire, a selection of games and puzzles for those evenings in, and an outdoor ping pong table. In fact everything you could wish for for the perfect family holiday.

Villa Posidonia is located in the exclusive residential district of the town of Loutraki, a seaside holiday resort on the Gulf of Corinth, eighty kilometres west of the Greek capital of Athens. Athens International Airport is a hundred kilometres from the villa, and can be reached by taxi or public transport. The villa is just a short walk away from the town, where you will find local shops and supermarkets to cater for all your needs for a happy holiday, and lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants to refresh you.

The nearest beach is a walkable five hundred metres, and the main beach of Loutraki is renown for its crystal clear waters. The beach has pre-bookable sun loungers and parasols, beach clubs with bean bag cushions, and a promenade with lots of cafes, bars, and traditional tavernas. Loutraki is famous for its natural springs and therapeutic spas, take the waters and indulge in some treatments in one of the many holistic health centres around the town.

Only a kilometre away is the Corinth Canal, a nineteenth century feat of engineering that created a ship’s passage from the Mediterranean to the Aegean Sea. The canal is six and a half kilometres long, twenty four metres wide, and seventy metres deep, and if you are feeling brave you can bungee jump and see it from a different angle, even if you can’t summon up the courage, it’s a well worth a visit for some fabulous views. Near the villa is the calm waters of the lovely lake Limni Vouliagmeni, where you can swim and snorkel in the salt water, bathe by the shore, take a walk around its perimeter and discover the local flora and fauna, visit the ancient temple of the goddess Hera at Perachora, before taking refreshment in a café. Seek solace in the Moni Oisou Patapiou, a twelfth century monastery with a bell tower and observation deck, walk up the one hundred and forty four steps of the mountain side to be rewarded with panoramic views over the Gulf of Corinth.

If archaeology is your thing, the area is surrounded by ancient sites, including nearby Isthmia, with the foundations of the Temple of Poseidon, a stadium, amphitheatre, and Roman baths with underfloor heating and mosaics. The Diolkos was a paved road which allowed ancient ships to be transported by a short cut to the sea, and can still be seen near the Isthmus of Corinth, well worth a walk along its track. For those who fancy something more active the villa is only two kilometres from the sportcamp training centre with its open air swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields, and indoor playing courts, as well as competitive and social events and cafes. Take to the water with a Catamaran adventure on the high seas, or learn to scuba at one of the many professional dive centres around town.

Further afield is the town of Corinth, an ancient city that dates back to three thousand BC, now a modern industrial hub, but also home to the citadel of Acrocorinthus, with its triumphal arch and Temple of Apollo, and stunning views over the Isthmus. In the evening you can take in a movie at the Cine Electra, dine at a seaside taverna on freshly caught fish, or for those who fancy a bit of a gamble, Loutraki is home to one of Europe’s largest casinos located in a stylish hotel in the town – good luck!
