About the property

Inside

accommodation at Kolokithi Bay is spread over a main house and a garden house. The property’s vivacious contemporary design fuses an inspiring architectural concept with quality fittings, materials and furnishings to create an inspiring, luxurious ambiance.

The main house is divided into four distinct sections. The first is home to a voluminous open-concept communal space, featuring an enormous L-shaped sofa, a dining area, and a fabulously equipped bespoke kitchen. A series of floor-to-ceiling, multi-aspect picture windows on two sides frame the green, tree-carpeted surrounds, while on the third, a pair of outsize glass doors open onto the main terrace and bring in fabulous views of the sea. The airy, luminous feel of this communal space is further enhanced by polished cement floors and lofty, white-beamed vaulted ceilings, all architectural motifs that run throughout the property.

A few steps lead from near the kitchen into a hallway and the second section of the house. Here there are the first two bedrooms: a spacious, multi-aspect double with sea views, an adjacent shower room, and access to a furnished terrace; and, up a flight of stairs (without bannister) another double, also with sea views and access to a wonderfully panoramic terrace.

Continuing along the hallway, one comes to the third section of the main house, home to the main bedroom, a spacious double, with large picture windows, sea views, a glass door leading out onto a furnished private terrace, an en-suite WC, and a stone feature wall dividing the bed from a voluptuously luxurious bathroom with tub looking out onto a walled ornamental garden, and a separate walk-in shower.

The fourth and final section of the main house is on a lower ground floor, accessed externally via a wooden boardwalk. Here there is a sea-view double bedroom with en-suite shower room and private terrace, and a laundry room.

The garden house is located in the grounds just a short amble from the main house. The entrance opens into a comfortably furnished living area, off which one accesses two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room. Stairs lead up from the living area to an open mezzanine loft, home to a twin bedroom with a small en-suite shower room.

Outside

the accommodation at Kolokithi Bay sits amidst extensive grounds, which have been landscaped ingeniously to make the most of the property's glorious setting above the sea. A weave of paths crisscross the fragrant gardens, connecting the two houses, a convivial, panoramic al fresco dining area (served by an outdoor kitchen with barbecue), the fabulous sea-view infinity pool with its shaded deck, and the sea access below.

The main house has a series of connected boardwalk terraces that run the full length of the sea-facing façade. The largest area is accessed from the open-concept living and dining area and kitchen, and is comfortably equipped with sofas, chairs, a dining table, shade and an outdoor fireplace.

A few steps lead up from here to the more shady terraces, accessed from the two ground floor bedrooms. The bedroom on the first floor, and the one on the lower ground floor also have private terraces.

About the Area

Kolokithi Bay sits above the sea about half way up the east coast of Alonissos. The seafront tavernas, amenities and harbour of Steni Vala are a 10 to 15-minute drive (depending on whether you take a track or the coast road) or a 30-minute walk up the coast. The island's main port, Patitiri, and the historic capital, Alonissos Town, are just a 20-minute drive away.

Despite its diminutive size, 14km long and 4km wide, Alonissos has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to beaches. Arguably the best ones are to be found along the east coast and on the southern tip. One such, just a 20-minute drive north of Kolokithi Bay, is Agios Dimitrios, whose splendid white sands and intense blue waters are irresistible. The north of the island also boasts some idyllic coves and beaches but most of these are only accessible by boat: an excellent reason to rent one for your stay.

Alonissos, its surrounding waters and minor islands, including Peristera, Kyra Panagia, Gioura, Psathoura, Piperi and Skantzoura, form the Alonissos Marine Park, the largest of its kind in Europe. Established in 1992, its 2,250km2 is home to a fascinating variety of flora, fauna, marine life (including Mediterranean monk seals) and unspoilt natural beauty.

Finally, just across the water, is Alonissos's sister Sporades Island, Skopelos, which is highly recommended and easy to get to.

Considerations

Due to the relatively limited number of hydrofoil/ferry connections between Skiathos and Alonissos/Skopelos in the shoulder seasons, we recommend booking morning flights or, alternatively, adding a night in Skiathos town the day before and/or after your time in Alonissos.

Before booking flights, please refer to the ferry and hydrofoil schedule to ensure that your flight lands in time to make a crossing to Alonissos.

Kolokithi Bay features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning sea views while in the pool. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

The sea access in front of this property is via rocks and so may not be possible to use if the sea is rough.

The number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and/or around this property might make it unsuitable for people with mobility problems.

Due to the nature of this property, we cannot accept bookings with children under 12.

It is possible to moor a boat of up to 7m at the jetty (securing the bow to a buoy and the stern to the jetty). Please note that if high winds are forecast, boats should be moved to Steni Vala or Votsi. Please check with us first if you are planning to moor a boat below the house.

Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.

The housekeeper at Kolokithi Bay is exceptional!

SB, United Kingdom, visited August 2021

Kolokithi Bay is a fabulous property - outstanding in all respects and breathtaking in many. Quite simply delightful. The housekeeper and cook is an absolute gem - very engaging, friendly and helpful, she also strikes a wonderful balance of mixing all those attributes with discretion.

Verified guest, visited August 2021

Kolokithi Bay is the most wonderful villa and the lady who cleaned and cooked was a delight. This was our first trip to the Sporades Islands and truthfully we can't say anything other than it was amazing.

CJ, South Africa, visited September 2019

We were really expecting to arrive at Kolokithi Bay and for it not to live up to the beautiful photographs. But we were amazed that the villa and garden actually looked better in real life. We thought we would explore a lot more than we did but the villa was so nice we stayed there a lot. The housekeeper was absolutely amazing and an excellent cook.

Ms Thea Thompson, United Kingdom, visited August 2019

Kolokithi Bay is an amazing villa in an amazing setting with views to die for. It's better equipped than my home and has plenty for teens to do.

JP, United Kingdom, visited September 2018
