Owner profile
About the owner
Villa To Petrino was orginally built by two couples. They started building the villa in 2000 and it was finished in 2004. It was an exciting project for them all and involved many trips to the island and a trip to Indonesia to fit the house out with teak furniture and artifacts. The result is a beautifully built stone house and infinity pool, with a breathtaking views of the mainland and islands, situated on a hill in a tranquil olive grove. It is now owned by one of the original couples who use the house with friends, and with their three children and now grandchildren during the months of June and September. Every trip to the villa is looked forward to with the same enthusiasm as the first. We seem to enjoy it more every time.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We choose Lefkas as the place to build a villa, for the beauty of the island and its diversity. We had never found anywhere as unspoilt as these islands. The west and east coasts are so different and so beautiful in their own way. When we first saw the land we knew we had found what we dreamed of; the spectacular views from the foothills just outside a very Greek little village were exactly what we wanted. The villa look down on busy Nidri which is fun to shop in and the young can enjoy the nightlife with only a short journey home through the olive groves. The very attractive Lefkas Town is not far away with more extensive shops where we always enjoy a drink in the square surrounded by Greek families.
Unique benefits of the property
We set out to create a villa that would blend in to the surroundings and in a Greek style but with all the comforts of modern living. We have used comfortable pocket sprung mattresses and white pure cotton linen and towels and air conditioned bedrooms, to ensure a good nights sleep. Every bedroom has an ensuite shower or bathroom. We have comfortable teak pool loungers with large shades and plenty of other benches and chairs so that everyone can find their own quiet space. The kitchen is well equipped with modern electrical appliances and all you need if you wish to stay in and cook. There are lovely walks in the mountains above the villa, a short drive away and some wonderful mountain Tavernas if you find Nidri too busy.
