Description from owner

Description

Three cozy cottages, the "Olive's House", the "Bird House" and the "Dome House", each with its own private patio and shady terraces, set in a large and peaceful, natural style garden. A perfectly easy space in which to live, with comfortable beds and well appointed kitchens, a good desk, and nice furnishings, these houses have a special atmosphere, ideal for people who are seeking a place to relax. No noise, no streetlamps, far from the hustle and bustle and yet just an easy ten minute drive to the quaint fishing village of Alyki with its seafront restaurants and leisurely cafe life, or to a selection of the fine beaches found in this part of the island.

Our seven acre garden estate is bordered by a mix of farmland and wild countryside, well situated for good nature walking and for the more adventurous, cross country scrambling.

“Wow! The stone cottages at Olive's house are aesthetic delights-- as perfect as the online photos!”

We loved our stay at Olive's house from the moment we arrived. The house, gardens, and view are stunning. We love to walk but ended up renting a car in the little beach town of Alyki so we could … More

“A beautiful retreat”

Reviewed 29 May 2013

Loved the stylish houses that are made out of natural materials (stone, wood etc). The location is off the beaten track, elevated, with amazing view over the isle of Antiparos and the sunset, but close enough to the small town of Aliki and the beautiful beaches of Voutakos and Farangas among others. Olive house's kitchen and bathroom are very well equipped with good lighting, ample cupboard space, comfortable beds and even bookshelves complete with books. To top it all off the patio overlooks a spectacular garden. I must also say that Irini and Jim -the owners- were very sweet and helpful.

“Stay in a work of art - in a corner of paradise”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

I stayed with Jim and Irini in November 2011. The house little house I stayed in was beautiful, like living in a work of art. The materials used were very nice, and the finish superb. The wood used was the most excuisite reclaimed oak. The tiled floors and walls beautifully finished mosaics. The cottage was located in its own private little niche in the beautiful gardens. The layout was good, allowing the individual cottages privacy, whilst still being near each other making the space ideal for multi-family or multi-generation renting. I stayed off-season, and the whole island seemed to be shutting down, despite some wonderful weather. I do not think the high season would be a problem, as the garden is away from the touristyspot, yet within easy reach of the beach, the airport (one flight a day), the ferry port and some lovely back country walks. Irini and Jim were very welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed their generous hospitality.
