The English owners have taken great care whilst furnishing the house in order to ensure both quality and comfort. They have even thought to supply a good selection of books, DVD’s, CD's a chess set, a hairdryer and a set of binoculars. Decorating the walls throughout the house are lovely framed photos taken by the famous Greek photographer, Giorgos Meis. The lounge has a lovely rust coloured corner seating unit, and the rest of the very attractive furniture in Sophia’s House (including the kitchen cupboards) is made from a dark coloured wood with black metal details. All modern comforts have been provided for, including a TV, DVD and CD players, a ceramic hob and built-in oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a microwave, and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated by either solar panel or a back-up immersion heater.
The upstairs roof terrace is also known as the sun terrace for obvious reasons, and it is fully tiled and equipped with sun-beds and umbrellas. There is a covered front terrace which is equipped with a table and chairs, and an open terrace by the infinity pool which also has sun-beds and umbrellas. The warm summer evenings are perfect for sitting and watching the ferries going to and from Athens, or the lights twinkling from the Akrotiri Peninsula on the opposite side of Souda Bay. To the east of the house, there is a traditional stone wall, on the far side of which are many mature pine trees. Many different flowers and trees have been planted in flower beds or pots around the property including, hibiscus, palms, oleander, cirus fruit trees, and a vine with grapes.
For larger groups, or couples who would like to be near to each other yet value their privacy, Sophia's House can be booked in conjunction one of the other lovely neighbouring villas that we also handle on this private and exclusive close.
