The Stone House details
Traditional stone-built houses in a quiet & secluded spot overlooking the Straits of Ithaca
The clue here’s in the name. The Old Stone House is, unsurprisingly, a traditional stone building split into two houses. From outside, they look undeniably cute with sky-blue shutters giving it an almost French farmhouse look. Out in front of the houses, there’s also the shared pool, with a private terrace for each of the properties. Better yet, it’s all set in a very pretty garden with views through the trees down towards Ithaca and Everti Bay.
Inside, in keeping with the façade, the back-to-basics interior design makes really good use of the natural materials. Just think stone walls, beamed ceilings and simple wooden furniture. It might not be cutting-edge, but the rustic charm gives the place a wonderfully homely feel.
As for the location, you’ll find the Stone House in Bazukata, a tiny cypress-and-pine-covered hillside hamlet. In fact, it’s so small you’ll need to venture up to Managanos to stock up on groceries. Or, there’s the option of driving to Fiskardo. This bustling little harbour village is only ten minutes away, but you’ll still find a number of lovely fish restaurants, tavernas and cafés.
