The house is in the tiny hamlet of Machala, a few minutes from Glossa village. The road to the house is a dead end and carries almost no passing traffic.

There is a sweeping view of the blue Aegean over to Evvia and the wooded rolling hills of the local countryside.

Outside is a substantial balcony and small upper terrace, big enough for a small table and chairs.

On two floors, approx 81 sq metres, Despina`s House is a model of how to restore a traditional stone house to modern standards, but in the old style.

Downstairs there is an open plan kitchen and sitting area and the second wc. The kitchen has a working open fired oven, but also a full size modern electric cooker. There is a fridge and a washing machine under the generous worktop.

Upstairs the traditional open roof spans an airy bedroom and sitting room with a separate shower and wc.

There is a working fireplace and all furniture (except the antique trunk) is included in the price.

You can drive to the door and park a few minutes walk away.

It is a ten minute walk to Glossa for the shops, tavernas and the bus, which will take you to all the loveliest beaches on the island.

All main services are connected.

Old world charm and modern convenience in one. Perfect for a couple and ready to move into.
