"Iocaste" (119m²) - 370.000 Euros
Its structure is that of a typical traditional village house, characterized by the private, secluded yard in the front as well as gardens at the back of the house. The owners of this villa are entitled to use the communal swimming pool.

This enchanting villa is one of the last renovated properties in the original village of Douliana and therefore its architecture is fully adjusted to the village¢s character as it is a fully integrated part of the village. The main entrance is accessed through a typical village path and the door itself is an imposing traditional wooden one that opens to a small private yard.

The ground floor comprises a living room, dining room, and kitchen and shower room. The elbow ground floor serves the daily living needs of the owners, as it caters all modern comforts but also keeps its traditional flare. It has a unique "C" shape. The house entrance opens to a cosy living room with a fitted corner wood-burning fireplace. Next to the living room there is a spacious dining room separated visually from the living room by a small curve. Walking further there is the kitchen area that is again not entirely visible from the dining area as it is close to one end of the "C" curve. The shower room is next to the kitchen. Patio doors in the kitchen lead to the back terrace with wooden pergola and small garden with olive trees. This back yard is ideal for relaxing evenings or dinner and barbeque parties.

The first level consists of two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Stairs rise from the living room to the house¢s first floor. Both bedrooms have access to two separate patios with fitted wooden pergolas, one overlooks the house¢s private yard and the village path and the bigger bedroom has access to a large patio with magnificent countryside views.

"Magdalene" (202m²) - 520.000 Euros
A faithfully renovated semidetached traditional stone house with private pool

The elbow ground floor serves the daily living needs of the owner, as there is an open plan kitchen, the living room with the fireplace and the spacious dining room or a second everyday living room. The first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom. This pretty home is privileged to an enchanting private front yard with an old lemon tree and flowers with an imposing wooden main entrance through the original Douliana village.

In the front yard there is also a separate room accessed through the same hallway by a separate entrance.

This beautiful room is decorated by a now carefully restored stone arch and a traditional wood-burning stone oven. This area used to serve as a food preparation area and probably is also the room where the family spent most of its waking hours.

It is one of the last houses of the original village of Douliana and therefore its architecture is fully adjusted to the village¢s character. It is privileged to a beautiful front terrace with a carefully preserved stone oven and a rich flower bed known for its aging lemon tree.
