In the endearingly traditional village of Antipata, the scene most likely to present itself is that of the orthodox
priest going about his daily business around the main square or the villagers swapping news at the local
mini market. Only a five minute stroll from this tiny centre of activity is the setting of Villa Spiros.
This three bedroom house, set in the hamlet of Markandonata, is the epitome of thoughtful design. Built by
Dimitri in his family village, Spiros is named after his father who was born in a cottage just a few steps away.
He has taken great care to ensure that this building blends into the landscape; even the swimming pool has
been designed so that the pool side does not detract from the horizon.
Spiros has its own distinctive character. The air-conditioned rooms are all on ground level, apart from the
master bedroom, which is elevated above the rest of the house. This room, with en suite bathroom, leads out
onto its own sun terrace. On the ground floor is a shower room and two twin bedrooms which provide access,
via French doors, to a shaded terrace. There is an open-plan kitchen and living area, which is spacious and
equipped with everything you need. Dimitri has given special consideration to the interior furnishing, making
this a comfortable yet stylish house.
The BBQ and seating area divides Spiros from its neighbour, Villa Gerassimos, ensuring that the swimming
pool and terrace are private. The garden has its own olive tree to provide additional shade, surrounded by a
colourful mixture of native plants and flowers.
Spiros faces west and looks out across a wooded landscape to the sea, making it a perfect vantage point from
which to enjoy the magnificent Kefalonian sunsets.
