You get such a wonderful feeling when you stay at the delightful Maritsa Oikos. This gorgeous property, just 150 yards from Molyvos Harbour in Mithimna, has a fabulous history. Maritsa Oikos is half of a large home built in 1926 by Ioannes Krallis after his wedding to Maritsa Kalligeris. In the mid-eighties, the house was split to offer half to each of the sons, Stratis and Nikos. Maritsa Oikos is the half owned by the brother Stratis and his wife Nana who spend half of the year at the villa and the rest of the time in Athens. It is clear to see that this splendid villa is much loved and beautifully maintained.
Maritsa Oikos overlooks the emerald Aegean Sea with the popular Molyvos Beach being 450 yards away and some fabulous shops and local restaurants being just 150 yards from the villa. The villa boasts three charming bedrooms, one with a double bed and sofabed, another with two singles and a sofabed and the last being a pretty twin. There are two beautifully fitted, modern bathrooms, one on the ground floor for the downstairs bedroom and the other, a family bathroom, for the two upper bedrooms.
On the lower floor, you will discover an utterly charming living room with a feature fire, comfy sofas and a gorgeous ceiling. The living room leads through to a wonderful kitchen diner, again brimming with charm and love. The modern, fully equipped kitchen will delight, and meals can be taken at the dining table. The lower bedroom is very quiet and elegantly decorated.
Upstairs you will find the warm and inviting master bedroom with its high ceiling and rich wooden furnishings that complement the gorgeous hardwood floor. It offers romance and elegance in equal measure. The twin is equally lovely, with beautiful art on the walls.
Outside, guests can enjoy the superb terrace with its spectacular sea views, the villa’s swimming pool and its pretty garden. You can enjoy your holiday read on the loungers overlooking the harbour and the Aegean Sea. Alfresco dining can be enjoyed on the terrace, shaded by the plants that grow over the pergola. It is a stunning spot with magical scenery all around.
What Oliver loves...
- Maritsa Oikos has been in the same family since 1926, being split into two for the family brothers in the eighties. It is clear to see that this is a much loved second home
- The stone architecture of Maritsa Oikos is absolutely stunning plus the villa boasts a splendid terrace with incredible, panoramic sea views and a private swimming pool
- It takes just two minutes to walk from the villa to the buzzy harbour of Molyvos with its colourful fishing boats, shops and restaurants
