Two traditional detached houses of 90sq.m each, with private pool (Arethusa house only) and breathtaking seaview. Each house has two bedrooms (one double, one twin) with seperate balconies, one bathroom (washing-machine, hair-dryer, air-cooler), one fully equiped kithenette, a dining area, a living-room (fire-place, sofabed), a picturesque backyard and a spacious roofed veranda with panoramic view both to mountain and to the sea. An open parking space is also available. The houses are located in a private estate of approx 11,000sq.m, perched on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Aetos, near Vathy, Ithaca. The estate is full of olive and many other fruit-bearing trees; there is also a vineyard. The visitors can rest or walk under the natural shade of trees, pick up and taste fruits, participate in the traditional vine-harvest (if they happen to be there end of August) or the olive-harvest (end of September). The houses are situated on a peaceful location near the archeological site "Cave of the Nymphs", where Odysseus is supposed to have hidden his treasures when he returned to Ithaca. They are only 5 minutes away from the port and the main town of Vathy (where there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars, bank, post office etc.) and 2 minutes from the nearest beach, Dexa (by car). Nearby, there are also country churges, archeological museum and walking tracks.
