Private pool, & large garden - 100m from beach, tavernas & shops in Almyrida.

Villa Almarine is so close to the sea you can practically taste the salt! The only property of its kind in the northern coastal village of Almyrida, this villa contains two fully equipped self-contained apartments and is just steps from the translucent Aegean Sea. Encased in emerald lawns and shadowed by the imposing White Mountains, this spacious and versatile partial sea-view villa -- which is rented in its entirety -- sits at the lip of a short winding lane that expediently leads to a lovely horseshoe-shaped beach rimmed with charming tavernas, open-air cafes and bars and a selection of curio and convenience shops. Its distinctive “separate but equal” layout affords the unique opportunity for friends, single families, or two families vacationing together to enjoy a shared experience while maintaining privacy - making it a very popular choice for groups seeking independent living quarters in a communal environment.

Set on an expansive 2000 square meter plot laced with leafy grapevines, vibrant trellis-entwined rose bushes, lemon and ficus trees, its swimming pool is embroidered by a wood effect tiled patio laden with sun beds and umbrellas, picturesque peaks looming in distant grandeur. A large cypress wood vaulted ceiling summer house features a brick barbecue and a wood burning pizza/bread oven alongside a ten person dining table while the wraparound decks and wide balconies that skirt the home’s bi-level perimeter further encourage many hours of outdoor leisure.

Fully enveloped by a stone wall, an iron electric gate unveils a large parking area, whilst the adjacent decorative pedestrian entry gate opens to a grass-flanked stone walkway that precedes the home’s separate entrances. The two bedroom downstairs unit is fronted by a large tiled patio while a twelve step iron bannistered staircase ascends to the three bedroom top floor apartment which is also bordered by a wide and shady tiled veranda.

Inside, both wood ceilinged airy units are gifted with abundant natural light streaming through walls of windows and supplementary back and side doors, open-plan living/dining/kitchen areas, and comfortably-appointed bedrooms. Add to this the duplex home’s gracious outdoor living sectors and bountiful amenities and it’s clear that Villa Almarine exists as a most hospitable and convenient multiple or large family/group accommodation option.


*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
In 2024: €10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

In 2025: €15.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

The Vrbo system does not have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee or an administrative fee).

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.

Pleaseant 2 weeks
The Villa was very nice and close to the village and beach which were both lovely. There were only small issues we would suggest. A fridge and fan in the pool area would be helpful and it is a shame the two appartments are not linked. Otherwise they could not do enough for us.

Excellent villa superbly located
An excellent, very well equipped villa in a beautiful setting. Eleni and Vangelis the managers couldn’t be any more helpful. The pool is a good size and monitored frequently. The villa has plenty of parking, is only a very short walk to the beach and every facility in the village.

Missing it already!
Nice villa, very well located, easy drive to airport, 2 mins from beach, great choice of tavernas for delish meals and cocktails and lovely sea swimming... Pool shallow (1.50 max) but great for the kids... Nice shady dining area made it a very sociable space, but also enough room for the 9 of us... More knives and new pillows please...

Perfect accommodation
¡This accommodation is amazing! We were 3 families who went on a vacation together. The villa is nice, spacious and very comfortable. It is so spacious that you can go away by yourself and have your own time if you wish. The bedrooms are nice with comfortable beds. Good storage and everything you need is available, eg hairdryer and iron. The garden and pool area is absolutely fantastic and both children and adults used the pool every day. It felt like its own oasis as the bushes around the pool area screened it off. The villa is located very beautifully and with a good distance to everything. We only had a hundred meters down to the beach and restaurants, so we could vary ourselves as we wanted. Smooth check-in and we ordered transfers through our host which was a very convenient solution. This accommodation met more than all our expectations. Thanks to our hosts for contributing to fabulous family vacation.

Nydelig feriebolig i flotte Almyrida
Helt superfin bolig, med fint basseng og bassengområde. Kort vei til stranden og alle restauranter og kafeer. Naboen har høns og de kan bråke litt, men de blir man vandt til. Ellers en nydelig plass.
