A masterfully renovated property of 3 houses in beautiful countryside

This beautiful complex is built on the side of a small, quiet village, 20 km from the town of Sitia. The 3 houses have retained the archetypal features of the Cretan rural residence along with modern, elegant elements. They have spacious, nicely designed exteriors that enjoy excellent views of the surrounding countryside. On the lower level the house is about 80 m². It has a large terrace with spectacular views, nice seating and sunbathing areas, while it has preserved the old wooden elements and the old stone oven, which is fully functional. The former wine press has been converted into a spacious hot tub with night lighting features. The interior space is divided into two sections, which can be accessed from the terrace. The large section consists of a bright open space with a fully equipped kitchen, living room and bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower. The other part of the house has the second bedroom with double bed and en-suite bathroom with shower. On the middle level, the second house of about 95 m² consists of an open plan kitchen/dining room and a beautiful living room with fireplace, a bathroom with shower, 2 double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom. An impressive arched glass window gives access to an outside lounge with unique ceiling & dining table. On the top level, the house of 80 m² consists of a living room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen/dining room, 2 double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, ceiling fans for cooling and en-suite bathrooms. Externally there is a large terrace offering 180 degree views of the countryside, it has a dining area shaded by a pergola, and a stone built BBQ. An extra studio of about 15 m² with shower and private entrance is located between middle and top level. The property has good road access, middle and top houses are accessed from a small side lane with stone steps. There is a covered parking space and easy nearby parking (about 30m away) for more cars. Sitia is an attractive seaside town. White-washed houses cling to a hillside laced by steep staircases and topped with a ruined Venetian castle. Below, a promenade lined with tavernas and cafes hems in the fishing harbour. It’s a slow-paced, friendly place where agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy. A long, sandy beach skirts a wide bay to the east of town. Sitia has a small airport with daily flights to and from Athens and a few charter flights from Europe during the summer. The international airport of Heraklion is 2 hours by car. The port has ferry connections to Piraeus and other islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese.
