Description from owner

Description

Zarka Villas is situated on nine acres of hillside olive grove, featuring a restored traditional stone house, 2 newer stone villas, a large circular meeting hall and a delightful swimming pool & in-ground hot tub. This gentle rural setting, offering all modern amenities, is the ideal location from which to explore the wonders of Southern Evia.

Each bedroom in all three villas have been designed so that they can be set-up with either 2 single beds (90x200cm), or the beds combined to make a large bed (180x200cm) with top mattress.

The "Old House" Villa derived its name from the fact that it was partially built from and on the remnants of a traditional old stone house. Located closer to the main entrance to our site, it was originally built as my cousin's residence and was always referred to as the "Old House"; and in his memory, we have retained this name.

The "Ayerikes" Villa's name stems from an old local myth. The folklore suggests that men or older boys who walked by the river at night, would be mysteriously abducted by a group of women - never to be seen again. Disappearing like the wind! "Ayerikes" is loosely translated as "Wind Women". This villa is located about 100 meters past the function hall and is the only one of the three that has complete facilities on both the upper and lower levels. It could actually accommodate 2 different families.

The "Lumi" Villa also traces its name back to ancient times. Dating back thousands of years, when Evia was significantly populated by peoples who had come from what is now Albania, the word for river was "Lumi". Many residents of Zarka and the area still understand the old dialects. The "Lumi" Villa is the smallest of the three villas, but offers panoramic views of the "Old Church" across the valley.

We are a 10 minute drive from the village, along a rustic, partially paved road.

Zarka Villas' main central structure is a large circular hall of 12 meters diameter. There are two changing rooms with toilet & shower. There are two additional toilets accessed from the outside of the hall, by the pool. The hall also features a full kitchen. With over a hundred square meters of floor space the hall can be used for activities such as weddings, seminars, meetings, lectures, dance, music, yoga and art classes. As the glass panels on the front all open, additional seating for larger events can be provided on the patio area surrounding the swimming pool.

The design and construction of this building ensures that it is useable any time of year. Set in an old olive grove on top of the hill, the hall is surrounded by landscaped gardens centered around the swimming pool and in-ground hot tub, which are built into an outcrop of natural rock. We provide limited Catering services on site, but can recommend several excellent Catering Services for large events.

The Hall also features a 65 in flat screen television, with DVD player & Stereo system. For families or groups vacationing together, the Hall can be utilized for group meals or other events. We also provide mats for those who may wish to continue with their personal regimes of yoga, meditation or simple exercises, while vacationing at Zarka Villas. ** Please note that weekly pricing shown is for the entire property.
