Alexanna Apartments

The Alexanna Apartments offer a sanctuary of serenity for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in Matsoukata, a quaint hamlet close to Fiskardo, the apartments are a testament to traditional Greek architecture with their sand-coloured structures and vintage shuttered windows. The setting around these apartments speaks volumes of its historical significance, particularly the olive grove which houses trees that have stood for centuries.

The layout of the apartments ensures variety. With six diverse units in the first building and three in the second, guests can choose but no matter which apartment you select, each one has promising arresting vistas. The lush expanse of the green forest, the vastness of Doliha Bay and the distant silhouette of Ithaka form a constantly shifting canvas that is bound to captivate any onlooker. It's truly a visual treat, further accentuated by the architectural beauty of the houses themselves. With balconies that let guests soak in the environment, some even have the luxury of natural canopies in the form of vines and bougainvillea, shielding them from the heat of the midday sun.

But the beauty of Alexanna doesn’t just stop at the structures and their immediate surroundings. A leisurely walk can lead visitors to Manganos, where the essence of traditional Greek village life can still be experienced. From a well-stocked colourful green grocers with all the necessary essentials to family-run tavernas perfect for watching the sun go down.  

But perhaps the most enchanting aspect of Alexanna is its gardens. Meticulously cared for by Rowena, the landscape is a rich tapestry of vibrant colours and intoxicating fragrances, making it the perfect retreat. The pièce de resistance is the swimming pool, perfectly positioned amidst mature hollyoaks and olive trees. The only disturbance here might be the soft chime of goat bells from nearby hills, making the setting even more enchanting.

For anyone seeking an authentic Grecian retreat, away from the madding crowds, Alexanna Apartments promise a perfect balance of nature, comfort and traditional charm.
