Your villa
Built in just 2004, Villa Skala provides top quality spacious accommodation with panoramic sea and mountain views. The privacy of this villa and the most breathtaking views are already making it highly sought after. Facing east, it is possible to lie in bed and watch the sun rise over the mountains of mainland Greece. The living/dining area shares the same views and breakfast on the verandah is likely to be taken at a leisurely pace. The villa has a blue theme throughout with soft lighting and modern furniture. The ground floor features a living/dining area with a fireplace, and 2 sets of sliding patio doors that open onto a balcony and verandah with patio furniture. French windows lead onto the adjoining verandah. There is a double bedroom with sliding patio doors onto a verandah, and a family bathroom with bath/shower. The large kitchen has full cooking facilities. A staircase leads to two twin bedrooms, both with en suite and sliding patio doors.
The surroundings
A long driveway skirts a hillside to three luxurious private villas, separate from one another and all set in their own spacious grounds. Natural stone walls, patios and terraces and shrub beds surround the area. Comfortable patio furniture and sunbeds have been provided so that after a dip in the private infinity pool, you will just want to lie back and enjoy the views. All paths, patios and pool are lit at night. Skala is Greek for “stairs” or terraces, and many were made in this area to facilitate the harvesting of crops. They are now overgrown and it is only the occasional bell on a sheep or goat that may be heard as they roam the hillside and forage through the olive groves. Below the villa is a steep hillside covered in lush green maquis until it reaches the waters edge far below.
Around and about
The unmade access road leads to a fork where you can turn left for the beach or right to join the main road to Poros village, just a 5-minute drive away. This traditional little village can provide a good meal, groceries and a warm welcome but you can always drive a little further and enjoy a meal at Mikros Gialos beach. Nidri is 20 minutes by car and here you will find banks, post office and many shops selling a wide range of goods. You can participate in sailing and other water sports from here. Maybe hire a boat and motor across to Meganissi or one of the tiny islands nearby. Due to the steep loaction of the villa our accommodation price includes a 4 wheel drive for the full duration of your stay and will be collected/returned to the airport.
