Kitchen & Living Area
The heart of Halara is the very large open plan living space with antique teracotta tiles floors and an airy double height ceiling. There is comfortable seating around a smart TV and a beautiful corner fireplace. The well equipped kitchen has a built in hob and oven in a large island unit, a large sink and two large fridge freezers.
There is a back kitchen and a separate utility area with a further oven, two dishwashers and a washing machine.
Indoor seating is provided around a dining table for cooler nights, and tucked away is a small desk area. French doors lead out to the loggia and views of the sea.
Loggia, Terraces & Grounds
Most gatherings at Halara take place in the shaded loggia (accessed from the living area) which has large built in sofas, a huge dining table and a traditional built in BBQ with spit. The sea view from here is magnificent and the space is hugely versatile for use throughout the day.
A lower terrace with an ancient olive tree in the middle offers yet more choice for dining, with a table that seats 12 under a vine pergola surrounded by a blue plumbago. There is a sofa area here too, as well as a pizza oven.
The Pool Terrace
The infinity pool, with its views over the Ionian Sea to mainland Greece, is 9m x 4.8m and 1.5m deep. It has underwater lighting for night swimming and is heated by solar panels in the cooler months.
The pool is surrounded by stone walls and is gated for safety, however, young children should be monitored at all times. There is a large terrace with sun loungers and shade is offered by a bamboo covered pergola and mulberry trees. There is a bar area with a sink and fridge.
A lower terrace has a boules court which is floodlit for evening games, along with table football.
There is an outside shower (with sensational views!)
Yoga, Boules & Table Tennis
A real highlight of Halara, is the wonderful large shaded pilates / yoga platform with mats provided and stunning 180° views over the sea with The Peleponnese in the distance.
A lower terrace beyond the pool has a boules court which is floodlit for evening games, along with table football.
Adjacent to the house is a separate table tennis area where many a grandparent has beat an unsuspecting teenager.
