Villa Gwen

About this property

Tucked away in a charming village, Villa Gwen welcomes you with its timeless character and thoughtful modern touches. Originally built in the 1980s by the host’s parents, this cherished family retreat has been lovingly restored in 2023, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary comfort. Traditional craftsmanship and locally sourced materials breathe life into every corner, ensuring the villa remains true to its surroundings while offering everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Step through the door, and you’re immediately embraced by the villa’s warm and inviting atmosphere. The first floor opens into a beautifully designed living area, where a rustic, stone-built fireplace takes centre stage. Exposed wooden beams and reclaimed stone walls tell the story of the home’s past, while plush furnishings and soft lighting create a cosy space to unwind. The kitchenette, though compact, is fully equipped with modern appliances, making meal preparation a delight. Gather around the indoor dining table for a leisurely breakfast or an intimate evening meal. Just off the living space, a charming Greek-style “panga” bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, embracing tradition with its raised sleeping area and understated elegance.

Climbing the wooden staircase to the second floor, you’ll find two classic bedrooms, each thoughtfully appointed for comfort. One of these rooms opens onto a balcony, inviting you to take in breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape—a perfect spot for your morning coffee. Nestled in a cosy corner, another traditional panga bedroom offers an authentic touch, seamlessly blending with the villa’s aesthetic. A full bathroom and a separate WC ensure convenience for all guests.

Step outside, and the villa’s outdoor sanctuary unfolds before you. The sun-drenched patio is designed for both relaxation and conviviality. A sparkling swimming pool invites you for a refreshing dip, while the custom-made marble dining table provides the perfect setting for al fresco meals under the shade of century-old olive trees. Stretch out on a sunbed and soak up the serene atmosphere, where birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves set the soundtrack to your stay.
