A homely and comfortable villa, furnished with antiques and interesting pieces creating a holiday vibe in a wonderful setting. It is well appointed, modern, yet in keeping with the local design. Named after the falcons that swoop over its elevated position above the unspoiled hill village of Glossa 1.8

km away with its shops and tavernas. Its secluded location feels private, despite its proximity to the beaches, the port, the Mamma Mia church and the village itself, and the villa is not overlooked by anything. The panoramic view takes in the islands of Evia, Skiathos and the Pelion and away to the mainland, as far as Mt Parnassus and closer to home down to the village of Glossa and its port of Loutraki.

Maid/Concierge service available - additional charge. The pool is maintained every two to three days to ensure that it is in good condition. Barbecue, Private Pool, ample Parking, large garden with a wide variety of herbs, shrubs and trees. Due to the situation of the property on the apex of a hill, and the steep slopes around the house, it is not suitable for wheelchair users, or indeed people with mobility difficulties. There are stairs inside and outside as it is a two storey villa. This is worth taking in to consideration if you are not accustomed to stairs. Car hire is necessary in order to get around and to explore , a Suzki Jimney is a good option. I can recommend a local car hire family run company which will deliver the car to the port of your arrival and collect from your departure port. Winter long term lets are also available.
