The Red House combines comfort with a sense of luxury. The villa is surrounded by VERANDAS and TERRACES where guests can enjoy their meals, a long-drink in the afternoon, some time for relaxation with a book or a portable device, or endless playtime with the children.

The terrace outside the kitchen features a large stone-table made from the world-famous Karystian slate. A variety of indigenous trees and flowers enrich the scenery, and the blush, deep red colour of the walls as well as the delightful VIEW TO THE SEA, make this the perfect all-day living space during the summer.

The villa is fully air-conditioned and includes exclusive amenities such as WIRELESS INTERNET inside and outside, covered parking, an espresso machine, a safe, satellite/cable television, a stereo system, a DVD Player, a natural-gas BBQ in the private terrace.

The eastern VERANDA overlooks the lawn, an ideal space where children can play under limited supervision. The interior is carefully decorated with exceptional pieces of traditional and modern design, and allows for plenty of natural light throughout the day. The Red House is a unique example of traditional Greek architecture of the 19th century, which is of special interest to guests who want to combine their accommodation with a genuine experience of the local culture.
