General Description
Aloni House is a magnificent, individual villa with a backdrop of mountains and wonderful sea views to the front. The property is set in extensive landscaped gardens with a very large private pool, all ensuring complete privacy but only 15 minutes walk into the village of Kournas and 6/7 minutes drive to the beach and facilities at Kavros.
The house is built of stone with Cretan style arches to reflect the local character, exposed wooden beams to give a simple rustic feel and all modern amenities to provide the luxury you would expect in a house such as this. You will realise that this house is something extra special the minute you walk through the front door into the impressive double height entrance hall with its crystal chandelier.
The house is cool and airy but nevertheless, all bedrooms are air-conditioned and ceiling fans keep you cool on the verandahs. Under floor heating and radiators throughout mean that Aloni House is comfortable even in the cooler months.
This very large house, spread over 3 floors, has 5 bedrooms, all fitted with plenty of storage space and private facilities (two are not en-suite), it can only be rented by one party at a time but the flexible arrangements mean that you can rent it as a 3 bed house, a 4 bed house or a 5 bed house. If renting as a 3 bed house you will have all of the bedrooms on the lower ground floor but neither of the master suites on the 1st floor. If renting as a 4 bed house you will have the aforementioned bedrooms + 1 of the master suites and if renting as a 5 bed house you will have all of the bedrooms available to you. If the master suites are not being rented, they will be locked throughout your stay.
External Areas
Outside the house is very impressive with beautiful, well maintained gardens which provide lots of secluded sitting places, a large pool with a child friendly shallow section, an outdoor kitchen/dining area equipped with a large stone BBQ, preparation areas, outdoor sink, fridge and a huge 4m long, solid granite dining table, perfect for dining al fresco. The pool is surrounded by expansive sun terraces, furnished with sun loungers and, for shade, umbrellas and a pergola. Walkways with more pretty pergolas connect the BBQ area to the pool terraces. The garden has been planted with colourful, scented plants of honeysuckle, jasmine and fruit trees to complement the surrounding olive groves and fields of wild herbs.
Ground Floor
Double doors open up at the end of the impressive entrance hall to an imposing open plan space wrapped around both sides of the property, this is the heart of the house, divided by two Cretan stone arches. To the left is the spacious, fully equipped kitchen/diner with a large farmhouse style dining table to seat up to 10 people in comfort. To the right is the well furnished lounge with a grand stone fireplace, comfortable sofas, antique furniture and many works of art adorning the walls. Two sets of French doors open out from the lounge and kitchen/diner onto a furnished, shaded verandah which runs the whole length of the house. This is a wonderful place to relax overlooking the pool with far reaching sea and countryside views. Off the entrance hall, near the top of the stairs to the lower ground floor, is a fully equipped bath/shower room which could be used as the private bath/shower room for one of the bedrooms on the lower ground floor that does not have en-suite facilities.
Lower Ground Floor
The house is on a sloping plot and this floor, which is at lower ground level to the entrance hall, is at ground level at the rear of the property thereby giving easy access to the pool, pool terraces and gardens. Three of the 5 bedrooms are situated on this floor. Two of them are twin rooms and the third is a double room. Two of them have direct access, through French doors, to the garden, pool and surrounding terraces. One of the twin bedrooms has en-suite facilities with a large walk through shower and separate en-suite wc. The remaining two bedrooms have the use of the other fully equipped bath/shower room on this floor and the full bath/shower room on the ground floor. There is another well equipped kitchen on this floor and a utility room which houses two washing machines – very useful if the house is being shared by two families who want some independence.
First Floor
Whilst the ground and lower ground floors are covered in natural tiling, the first floor has polished wooden floors throughout. The two master suites and the library are on this floor. One of the master suites has a double sleigh type bed and the other has two double beds. Both suites have fully equipped en-suite bathrooms and walk in wardrobes. Both rooms have French doors opening up to another verandah running the whole length of the house with the same stunning views as those from the ground floor verandah. The library is well stocked and there are two comfortable armchairs for those who may wish to sit and read in a quiet spot.
