The House

Villa Glad won first prize in the annual Daily Mail Ideal Home Show 2006 - in the category for houses built from half-and-half stone and concrete. Daily Mail Ideal Home Show is one of the largest house shows in Europe, and Villa Glad was reconstructed in nearly full size at the show's premises in Earls Court, London. Please view a picture of this house in the right hand scroll bar.

On the ground floor, this brand new villa has an open-plan dining area, kitchen and living room with a fire place. There are double doors both from the kitchen and the living room onto the 100 square metre sea-facing patio and the 45 square metre swimming pool (depth 1.20 – 1.50 metres with a separate childrens pool area of 0.80 depth). The outside area has an outdoor kitchen with a sink, kitchen worktop and a barbeque/gas grill – in addition to a sofa and marble table under a pergola giving the necessary shade during the heat of the mid-day.

On the ground floor is also a double bed room with a separate balcony and a bath-room with a bath tub and a washing machine. On the first floor are two bedrooms. One with a double bed and separate balcony and the other with a double bunk bed and two single beds. The house comfortably sleeps eight adults. In addition, the living room sofa also serves as a single bed. The second bath room upstairs has a shower. The upstairs balcony of 40 square meters has a pergola, tables and sun chairs plus an outside water tap for quick showers - and a magnificent view!

All bedrooms plus the kitchen/living room area have AC units. There is a TV, radio and a CD player. The kitchen is fully equipped for in-house dining for 12. Maid service is available upon request, the charge is 50 Euro for each call. The garden (1.290 square metres) contains pear, apricot, peach, citrus, almond and olive trees.

The house is well-suited for smaller children. We have a special baby crib for children up to the age of 2. The pool has the special fenced-off water area for children. Of course, this does not mean that children can be left unattended in the pool area. There are children’s toys available for borrowing.
