Happy 2013 - exciting times for Itha108




Use your imagination; 

breath in warm winter air; feel the sun burning your back 

and listen to the sound of waves and birds:






The ground floor of the main house is on your left. Three double bedrooms with en-suit bathrooms occupy this floor, with french doors leading to a terrace looking South West towards Kefalonia. You can relax on a daybed, read your book on an Indian swing or walk down to one of many secluded beaches. Often you find yourself alone even in August. Have a siesta in your cool bedroom.

The first floor has further bedrooms, a library and a terrace with spectacular view over the sea and sunset. A perfect place for dinner.  




This photo was taken from the outdoor living space, which is between the main and the stone house. The side wall gives you an idea of bedroom space and view you are going to have. 




Below the three bedrooms, on the lower ground floor is a yoga room supplied with fresh air and natural light. I am excited about the excavation of a rock along the right side. This is going to be an interesting feature behind a large window. During the heat of the day, if you like to practice yoga in a cooler place the rock gives you the feeling of a cave. At night lit up, what a sight! I can't wait to practice and teach in this room. It's going to be incredible, even my engineer expressed an interest in yoga.  




I mentioned an out-door living space. This is going to be it. The photo was taken inside the stone house kitchen with its massive door. The view is towards the main house. The area is eventually covered by a pergola and on the right side along rocks an out-door kitchen perfect for breakfast and lunch. An ideal lunch place as it's totally shaded. 

This area has many interesting places for daybeds, low tables and floor cushions. No need to sit at a table for lunch if you don't feel like it. 




This is the front of the kitchen and breakfast is served on this terrace.  Enjoy the morning sun or if you prefere shade plenty of trees for you to sit under.  




Your back is turned to the stone house and part of the breakfast terrace is still a building site. The sea looks far, but it's only seven minutes walk away! 




Bath tub or you own plunge pool? 




View from you bath tub. The large stone steps are going to be day beds and to your left around the corner is a shower area.   




Growing on one of the many beaches below Itha108 is this extraordinary looking olive tree. It is coming out of a rock surrounded by salt water?  




If you are an early morning person this is worth seeing. At full moon the night light and energy is amazing even at 6am in the morning.
