Resting on the highest elevation in the traditional village of Kenourgio Chorio, this stone built cottage seamlessly combines tradition, luxury and modern amenities.

This authentic stone 151 sqm cottage has been fully refurbished in 2024, preserving its traditional stone masonry and ensuring its character as a prime example of local architecture. Developed on a 1100 square meter plot at the elevated end of the village, the property enjoys majestic vistas of the village, the surrounding countryside and the sea.

Unfolding over two floors, the ground level of the cottage houses two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite. The distinguishing feature of the floor is the exposed natural rock on which the cottage rests in the bedrooms. An interior wooden staircase takes us to the upper level, where we find the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, the open plan living area and kitchen. The bathroom of the master bedroom is clad with Travertine, while the bench-top and splash back in the kitchen use Calacatta marble. Also noteworthy are the exposed timber trusses and the acoustically treated floor for sound-proofing. All windows are double-glazed and fitted with shutters and mesh screens, while air-conditioning and heating systems ensure the ideal temperature all year round.

The exterior space of the cottage expands over multiple levels and the landscaped gardens are inspired by the local flora, with the rocky terrain filled with wild vegetation, trees and bushes, all surrounding a minimal wooden pergola, the ideal spot for guests to enjoy the Messinian Sun and perhaps cook in the original wood fire oven.
