Cretan Show Home Unveiled

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

The doors to a fully furnished show home have been opened at a new development in Western Crete.

An exclusive collection of nine villas situated in rural Crete, as previously featured in Concept For Living, is now complete and has a flagship show home available for viewing.

Developer Caversham-Barnes designed the two and three-bedroom properties to meet the expectations of Britons seeking an overseas home. They feature heated pools, sun terraces, air-conditioning and central heating , and are some of the few in Crete with secure garages.

The new show home at Litsarda Villas, named Villa Galini, is unusually large by Cretan standards. The two-bedroom, three-storey villa has a floor area of 150 sq m and occupies a plot of 2,304 sq m (more than half an acre) planted with old-established olive trees. While the external design of the villa is typical of the traditional white ‘sugar-cube’ style of country homes on the Greek island, its appearance has been softened with the addition of balustrades and shady pergolas on two spacious balconies.

“For those planning to retire to Crete, inland locations are better suited to year-round living. On the coast, businesses tend to cater for holidaymakers during the high season and then close for the winter months, turning seaside resorts into ghost-towns.”

Prices at Litsarda Villas start at €249,900 for a two-bedroom villa including a self-contained lower ground floor. The properties are supplied fully furnished and equipped, so prices include everything from the furniture, indoors and on the terraces, to crockery, pots, pans and cutlery.
