Located at the edge of Alonissos Old Town, Olive Tree House offers a tranquil escape with wonderful views that extend across the horizon. This beautifully restored village house exemplifies the town's rich history and architectural charm.
Situated above Patitiri, the Old Town captivates visitors with its stunning panoramas and picturesque, bygone charm. Once abandoned in the 1960s, the town has undergone a remarkable renaissance, with its old houses lovingly restored and now sought after by artists and writers. The revitalised village boasts a vibrant atmosphere, with a charming selection of some 9 tavernas, 5 cafes and bars, and a mini-market. Patitiri port is accessible by bus during the summer months, and can also be reached on foot via a scenic goat track (approximately 2.5 kilometres) or by taxi. The house has its own private parking and car hire is highly recommended for further exploration of the island, as well as easy access to beaches. As the sun sets, the Old Town transforms into an enchanting haven, its ambiance particularly captivating in the evenings.
Spread over two levels, Olive Tree House provides a comfortable and inviting retreat. The ground floor features an open-plan living room connected to a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and washing machine. On the upper level, guests will find two well-appointed bedrooms, both air conditioned: one double bedroom furnished with a luxurious king-size bed and a twin bedroom that can be converted into a double. WiFi is provided, and patio doors and windows are mozzie-screened.
To the front a ground floor terrace and first floor covered balcony run the length of the house and offer breathtakingly panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, wooded hills and Aegean Sea. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or stargazing in the evenings, this tranquil space provides the perfect vantage point.
The shaded garden has paved patio terraces at different levels which create inviting spaces for relaxation and al fresco dining. An outdoor shower adds a refreshing touch, perfect for cooling off on warm summer days.
With pristine beaches just a short 10-minute drive away, Olive Tree House serves as an ideal base for exploring the island's stunning coastline. Please note that, due to the location and steps in and around the property, a stay here would not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.
