General Info |
|
| |
Villa Kamen was previously a small pair of linked farm buildings. Fantastically restored, with old wood beams, reclaimed terracotta tiling, marble and stone stairs and polished wood floors, the house extends to a substantial 150 m2. The thick stone walls keep the house comfortably cool even in the middle of summer. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen-dining area and a vast living area with traditional open fireplace. The living areas on the ground floor are linked with lovely brick arches. On the 1st floor there are 3 bedrooms with the master bedroom having en-suite facilities. There is a family bathroom and a landing area which can be utilised as a 4th bedroom. |

We have been on many villa holidays and this is the most well equipped one we have stayed in! Also the restaurant round the corner is excellent. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

Thank you for a fantastic stay here at Villa Kamen. We have had a VERY relaxing week. The pool is great & house is so comfortable. Had lovely food out all week but in particular the local restaurant round the corner & Idilia - it was truly gorgeous to watch the sun setting sat out on the terrace.
This is a great place for lots of rest & rejuvination: we are all going home very chilled out.

We've had a great couple of weeks in this beautiful house - it's been a very relaxing and welcoming place to stay.
Marcos' white wine (neighbour)is well worth a try.
