Reduced Occupancy

During the shoulder seasons, Cleonice has a reduced price for a group of up to 6 that only need up to 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms not required will be closed, but the rest of the villa, its amenities and its grounds will remain at the complete disposal of guests. Should you book the reduced occupancy rate, the main house bedrooms will be prepared for you.

Inside

accommodation at Cleonice is laid out over a main house on three floors and two independent guesthouses accessed from the terraces.

From a shady portico, the front door of the main house leads in to communal hub of the property, a spacious open-concept living and dining area that epitomises the aesthetics, quality levels and attention to detail of the property as a whole. Hard-wood floors bring warmth, cool grey-painted ceilings with perfectly aligned sweeps of wood stripping add an element of classic Spetsian design, and six sets of French doors combine to create a luminous atmosphere, while also bringing in the wonderful sea views and allowing seamless access to the main terrace. Carefully placed bibelots and works of art provide colour and interest and the lighting, which includes integrated ceiling spots and designer lamps, enhances the already sophisticated, elegant and welcoming feel.

To the left of this space, flanking a fireplace, are a pair of sink-in sofas. In the centre is another sitting area with another sofa and a pair of armchairs gathered around a coffee table. To the right, meanwhile, is a large dining table.

Behind the dining area is a guest WC and the sleek, fabulously well-equipped contemporary kitchen, which opens out onto the shady al fresco dining terrace.

To the left of the main entrance, a staircase leads up and down to the first and lower ground floors.

The first floor is entirely given over to the principal bedroom, a spacious triple-aspect double with sea views, bespoke cabinetry, a luxurious en-suite shower room with double sinks, and access to a private terrace gazing out over Spetses Town and across the sea to the Peloponnese.

On the lower ground floor are two more beautifully finished double bedrooms, each with sea views, terrace access and en-suite shower rooms. The larger of the two has a little sitting area.

The first of the two externally accessed guesthouses is on the lower ground floor level. Its front door opens into a centrally positioned, spacious sea-view living area with kitchen corner and terrace access. On either side of the living room is a bedroom:

• a sea-view double with en-suite shower room and terrace access
• a sea-view double-twin, also with en-suite shower room and terrace access

The second guesthouse is located just across the terraces from the main house's living and dining area. It hosts a bright living room furnished with a large built-in sofa, a couple of armchairs and a kitchen corner, and two bedrooms:

• a double with sea views, terrace access and an en-suite shower room
• a double-twin with garden views, terrace access and an en-suite shower room

Outside

Cleonice sits amid a 5.5-acre estate, much of which, on the slopes below the house, is planted with olive, pine and cypress trees. The focal point for most al fresco life at Cleonice, however, are the terraces and colourful gardens that surround the house.

A wonderful sweep of terrace, measuring some 30m in length and accessed from the ground floor of the main house and the second guesthouse, runs along the sea-facing side of the property . The views are captivating, with 180-degree panoramas panning out to take in Spetses Town, the south coast of the island, the Peloponnese across the water, and the islets of Trikeri and Dokos in the distance. There are several sitting areas, furnished with quality outdoor sofas and armchairs, and a secluded, well-shaded al fresco dining area.

At one end of this terrace, steps lead down to the terraces accessed from the main house's lower ground floor bedrooms and from the first guesthouse. At the other end, from near the second guesthouse, a second set of steps connects the main terrace with the pool area, which has been conceived to cater for a range of al fresco pleasures: the magnificent 20m-long infinity pool, with its beach-effect shallow end and its hydromassage corner, takes centre stage, but there is also a bar, a shaded dining area served by a barbecue, a well-furnished sitting area, plenty of sunloungers, and a WC.

Below the pool and flanking all the terraces and the driveway, a polychromatic display of flowering and aromatic plants provides a gentle backdrop to al fresco life, while the confines of the property are guarded by shady Mediterranean pines and deep-green cypresses.

Behind the property, steps lead up to an evocative chapel, while below the pool a path weaves eastwards down through the grounds for some 250m to the "town gate", from where guests can walk into Spetses Town with ease. Another path leads for a similar distance heads southwards to "sea gate", from where, in a couple of minutes you can be lying on the soft golden sands of Agia Marina beach.

One final al fresco space worth mentioning is the private terrace of the principal bedroom on the first floor of the main house. The views from here are arguably at their best.

Spetses is a car-free island (apart from a few taxis (which book out quickly in the summer season) and service vehicles). Most people move around by bicycle, scooter, quad bike, boat, donkeys and sea taxis. If you wish to rent bikes, scooters or quad bikes, please contact us in advance, as numbers are limited.

As this villa is located on an island, we recommend extra caution when booking your flights to avoid problems or delays with ferries and hydrofoils. It may be advisable to arrive a day earlier and depart a day later. Please contact us for any information or advice.

Cleonice features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

There is an 8th bedroom at Cleonice, a double-twin with en-suite shower room next to the house staff's quarter down some steps from the lower ground floor. While finished to the same standard as the others, this room does not have any views and just a small window, but it may be suitable for a nanny and is available on request for an extra fee.

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.
