Originally a mule stable, Villa Helena was renovated and extended in the 1980's and now offers spacious, light and airy accommodation for two, with spectacular views towards the sea and neighbouring Greek islands.

The home provides comfortable accommodation on 2 levels.

Steps at the side of the house lead up to the main entrance door that leads in to the open plan living/dining room with fully equipped fitted kitchen. In the living area is a traditional Alonissos open fireplace and French windows open out on to a balcony with wonderful sea views.

Traditional wooden stairs lead down to the ground floor accommodation with a spacious double bedroom and recently refurbished en-suite shower room. Hear there is also a large window with lovely views and a door leading outside.

There is a delightful sun terrace at the rear of the property with shaded pergola covered in pretty bougainvillea offering the perfect setting for al-fresco dining.

The detached house is located in the old village on a peaceful stone paved lane just a 3 minute walk to a selection of superb tavernas, cocktail bars, supermarkets, a bakery and gift shops. There are Taxis all year round and a bus service runs for several months of the year.

The house is being sold fully equipped and furnished and would make an ideal Investment property, holiday or retirement home for 2.

Over the last few years the house has been successfully rented out and generates an attractive income from May to October.

Subject to planning permission there is also the possibility of building an extension on the side of the house.

Villa Helena offers the opportunity to relax and unwind in peaceful surroundings on one of the most un-spoilt Islands in the Aegean.

The nearest beaches are at Megalos Mourtias and Mikro Mourtias. Megalos Mourtias is a favourite among the inhabitants of the Old Village, as they can walk down to it using a signed footpath in about 15-20 minutes. It is also highly accessible by car and/or motorbike - approx 5 minutes.

The beach is covered with smooth white pebbles. In the sea you will find silky smooth sand. There is a gentle slope, the water gradually getting deeper. You can find shade under the beach umbrellas or under the olive trees that grow a few meters away from the sea…

There are 2 tavernas on the beach and a third on the road just a few metres from the beach. All sell fresh fish and traditionally Greek food.

Contrary to its busy ‘Big brother’ the beach of Mikros Mourtias is a quiet beach with no facilities. The pebble beach is relatively small; there is a big patch of fine sand in the sea. The beach is encircled with rocky cliffs, creating breathtaking scenery. At the back of the beach are old olive trees where you can find good shade.

On its right end there is an old abandoned building that was once used by people living in the Old Village, when they wanted to visit the island of Skopelos.

Being so quiet and relatively isolated, the beach is sometimes proffered by nudists. It is also very likely that when visiting you might be the only people there, so it really feels sometimes like it is your own private beach!!!

The water at both beaches is crystal clear with a beautiful silky blue colour. In order to get the most out of your visit in any of the beaches in Alonissos, it is a good idea to bring a mask and a snorkel, so that you can enjoy the underwater beauty and colour display. Even those that are not snorkel enthusiasts should be prepared to be dazzled by the beauty of the underwater scenery of Alonissos.
