Within easy commuting distance of Athens yet sufficiently away from the city to give the impression of island living. Located on the fringes of the Sounion National Park, close to the seaside towns of Anavyssos and Lavrion and the temple of Poseidon, this exquisite French styled villa secluded on two acres of land (8500 sq.m) has views across rolling countryside, vineyards, olive groves and pencil cypresses dotting a landscape reminiscent of Tuscany. The ‘distressed shabby chic’ styling of this villa is carried throughout and reflected in its tasteful fixtures and fittings. Built to the highest specification with extensive use of natural materials including stone walls and floors, solid chestnut beams from Mount Athos, Italian hand distressed chestnut doors, distressed Egyptian marble terraces, bespoke, handmade kitchen furniture by Chalon of Chelsea, London and a huge stone fireplace, create a rustic yet chic ambiance. Vintage French crystal chandeliers, fully tiled bathrooms with Travertine limestone, ducted air-conditioning, underfloor heating and great attention to detail, add to the comfort of this eclectic and atmospheric villa.
