Two traditional detached houses of 90sq.m each, with private pool (Arethusa house only) and breathtaking seaview. Each house, sleeping up to 6 persons max, 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.
