Description
The Region of Pylos / Gialova bounds the Infamous Navarino Bay, coupled with Signature Golf Courses, The Mandarin Oriental, The W and The Costa Navarino Resorts whilst the region of Methoni / Finikounda stands out for its Wonderful Sandy Beaches and the Historical Venetian Castle.
Nestled between these Wonderful Areas is the Traditional Village, known as PALIO NERO, which Houses Beautiful Old Stone Houses, untouched by Tourist Development; an Authentic example of a Greek Village Settlement where its Inhabitants enjoy Absolute Tranquility all year round.
This charming cottage, is within the Municipality Town Planning Zone. It is a Hidden Gem for those seeking to escape the Everyday Hustle and be able to Reset their Mind and Spirit in a Natural Environment, making it ideal for either a Vacation Home or Permanent Living.
The house, once an abandoned ruin weathered by time, has been thoughtfully restored to recapture its former glory. Nestled in a quaint and picturesque courtyard, it captivated its new owner, who was inspired to undertake a renovation that honors the simplicity and tradition of Greek countryside living.
The restoration focused on preserving the house's authenticity while meeting basic modern needs. The interior was opened up by removing old partitions, and the traditional ceramic-tiled roof was replaced with a visible wooden ceiling that mirrors the style of the original. The sturdy stone walls were carefully repaired, while new plumbing and electrical systems were installed with exposed copper pipes, blending functionality with industrial-rustic aesthetics. High-quality windows and doors, designed as modern replicas of the originals, were fitted to retain the home's traditional charm. Ceramic tiles now grace the ground floor, and impressive wooden beams support the upper floor, which features a warm, wooden finish.
A lover of open spaces, the owner chose to forego interior room partitions, creating a spacious and airy environment. The ground floor now features a minimalist industrial-style kitchen, a small yet functional bathroom, and a cozy wood stove for warmth. Upstairs, an air condition unit has been installed to provide comfort during hot summer days and the terrace floor has been updated with ceramic tiles.
The layout offers flexibility for future modifications, with the option of adding partitions to create private rooms and install an additional bathroom on the first floor.
This thoughtful renovation seamlessly combines modern comforts with traditional craftsmanship, breathing new life into this once-forgotten home while preserving its timeless appeal.
