VILLA ALEXANDRA

Almyrida

Villa Alexandra is a modern villa only 4 minutes flat walk from the sandy beach and good choice of tavernas and shops in the village of Almyrida. Providing excellent value for money, this villa books up early.  Positioned next to an olive grove on the corner plot of a small group of villas, Villa Alexandra has lovely views of The White Mountains and the olive clad hillsides that surround Almyrida.

The villa has been designed to maximise the outdoor living area, and has terraces and balconies with a choice of sun or shade. In front of the villa the pool terrace  has lovely sandy coloured non-slip crazy paving, sun-loungers and umbrellas so you can make the most of outdoor living. All around the pool terrace and villa are a large number of traditional clay pots and flowerbeds planted with conifers, roses, palms, colourful purple solanum, and a mandarin tree. The villa is painted a pretty pale yellow colour with white aluminium doors, windows and shutters. Under a covered archway, by a flowerbed of mature roses, is the south facing front terrace which has a wooden bench, a table and 4 director's chairs. This terrace leads around to the shady east side of the villa covered by a pergola and has a sink and a large BBQ made from natural stone and brick. The BBQ terrace has a wooden table and bench, and is next to a mature fig tree.

The friendly  Greek owners, Spiros and Christina, have furnished the villa with great care, using furniture to match the same warm coloured wood as the built-in wardrobes, kitchen cupboards, bathroom cabinets, and doors. The bathroom and shower room are finished to a very high standard with beautiful pale terracotta and light peach tiles. All modern comforts have been provided for you including a TV, DVD and CD players, a dishwasher a washing machine, and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the living room. For the cooler nights at the start and end of the season there is a fireplace in the lounge, and the a/c units also double up as heaters.  There is a solar panel or a back-up immersion heater for hot water. 

Villa Alexandra, and its sister, Villa Lydia are perfect for families or couples who prefer to be independent but not reliant on a car to get around. It is also possible to book the two villas together, a good option for large groups or families who would like to be near to each other yet value their privacy. For great value and close location to Almyrida Bay these villas are ideal.
