Full Description
Nostos sits within the hamlet of Rou and occupies an enviable location above the spectacular north east coast of Corfu with uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea to the UNESCO-designated area of Butrint.
The property has been renovated to enhance the features of the original stone buildings yet offers spacious and modern accommodation within its own extensive grounds.
The property is over two levels, with the main living accommodation being on the upper level with high open wood-beamed ceilings. Entry is through the kitchen, fitted with modern but traditional style units, including a double ceramic Belfast sink, gas and electric hob, oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is lots of storage, and the kitchen has an exceptionally high ceiling with open wood beams.
This leads through into a large sitting room with French windows opening onto a balcony offering breathtaking views across to Albania and the Greek mainland. The room has a traditional open fireplace which has been fitted with a contemporary energy-efficient woodburner, to provide plenty of heat on chilly days. The living room has a beautiful old wooden floor and open beams, adding to the overall comfortable atmosphere.
A stone flight of steps leads down to the lower level where there are three rooms.
The master bedroom is to one side; a large room with lots of fitted cupboards, and a spacious en-suite bathroom with windows to the front and side. French doors from the bedroom open onto the main terrace.
On the other side of the lower level are a further two bedrooms, one currently used as a second sitting room/study which has a mezzanine level. There is also a shower room and a useful kitchenette at this side of the property.
The pool and terraces have been constructed to take full advantage of the magnificent view and enjoy all day sunshine. Stone walls and gravel pathways provide form to the gardens planted with herbaceous shrubs and herbs that withstand the Corfiot climate and extend the to length of the house. Some steps lead down from the pool terrace to an olive grove and wildflower meadow.
Nostos offers comfortable accommodation in a beautifully peaceful setting yet is only a short drive to the beaches and restaurants on the north east coast. A successful rental property, this is an excellent investment property.
