Thoughtfully designed, stylishly furnished and conveniently positioned for access to beaches, good amenities and the island capital Argostoli, Chrysa is a warmly welcoming holiday base. From panoramic windows, the poolside sun terrace and part-lawned grounds guests can enjoy a lovely view over to the aquamarine waters of the Ionian Sea shimmering in the hazy summer heat.
The open plan layout comprises a living/dining area and well-equipped kitchen, each space clearly defined by a thoughtful combination of smart furniture and tasteful décor that includes beamed ceilings and a well-coordinated colour scheme of soft pastel shades. Creating an added degree of privacy, the bedrooms are located on opposing sides of the living area, each one bright and attractive with an en suite shower room and direct access to the pool terrace via sliding glass doors.
Outside an inviting sun terrace fringes the private pool and there is plenty of space for dining on the fruits of the barbecue or relaxing with a cool drink - perhaps a glass of chilled 'Robola', the crisp and tasty white wine unique to Kefalonia (created from grapes grown at both the Gentilini vineyard less than 3km away near the picturesque beach of Platis Gialos as well as Sarris Winery, about the same distance away in the other direction and very close to the popular sandy beach of Avithos).
Numerous local tavernas (some offering home delivery) dot the surrounding countryside, several being within a couple of kilometres of the house itself, and you will find a little minimarket for everyday essentials within 500m. The village of Svoronata (1.5km) has a larger supermarket and several others are easily reached in around a 10 minute drive. The lively capital of Argostoli (13km) has excellent amenities including a wealth of bars, restaurants and coffee shops both along and around its (endearingly chaotic!) quayside.
Near-identical sister property Eirini can be found in its own private grounds a little further along from Chrysa. Both properties rented together would be a good choice for a larger party or even two independent families as everyone could be within easy distance of each other while at the same time fully retain their individual space and privacy.
Designated by a fence and young shrubs, the edge of the property grounds is part-elevated in places meaning younger children may require supervision.
