VIlla Adina

Villa Adina offers an exclusive luxury retreat on the legendary Island of Symi. From the moment one arrives through the gateway, the incredible views enchant and set the scene for the holiday of a lifetime. The large patio and terrace invite lazing in the sun, relaxing in the shade or dining al fresco. The spacious indoor living areas allow you to feel "home from home". Three double bedrooms accommodate a party of 3 couples or a family. The Villa has a spacious private patio with a breathtaking view of the Pedi Valley, Bay, and the Agean to the mountains of Turkey. Separate areas on the patio allow for play in the pool and simultaneous quiet workspace. A cot is available if required. Private parking and a bus stop below the villa. The villa is one of a very few that offer private space for relaxing and entertaining and easy access by road with no steps. There is private parking at the entrance and a bus stop below the house. The Villa is a tranquil retreat just a 5 minute walk from the village and a 15 minute walk from the busy harbour. The panoramic view from the terrace takes in the green Pedi valley of Symi and the bay opening into the Aegean lying between Greece and Turkey.  The mountains of the Mugla province of Turkey are strung along the horizon and the lights of Bozburun wink at Symi after sundown. The terrace has an 8 seater dining table, a sunbed area and a ’chill’ zone in the Turkish style.   Adina villa has three bedrooms, two bedrooms have king size beds.  The moussandra bedroom room has a queen size bed and ensuite shower/toilet.  Another full, plus half bathroom inside, are complemented by the unique outside shower allowing a view of Pedi bay.  An 6 seater dining table in the kitchen/dining area allows for visits in the cooler months. The Weber barbecue and fully equipped kitchen make dining at home as much of a treat as dining out. A large salon comfortably furnished in the local vernacular, is equipped with a flat screen tv,  and Bose speaker for your iPod.  The Villa is ’self catering’. However; on arrival, breakfast requirements for your first day and a complimentary bottle of wine and bottled drinking water will be provided. An ’honesty bar’ will be stocked to your requirements. Set above the valley and bay of Pedi, Adinai’s driveway joins the main North - South road through the island. A 15 minute walk North takes you down the ’Kalistrata’ to the busy harbor of Yialos. A 15 minute walk East takes you down to the sleepy bay of Pedi. The town bus passes the villa every hour. Private parking is available at the gateway to Adina if you prefer to hire transport. Visitors to Symi arrive on one of the ferries that serve the island. I meet guests, arrange for transfers and enjoy introducing them to Symi and the villa. I am on hand to advise and arrange excursions. Water is a scarce resource on Symi and guests are urged to use water wisely.  All drinking water is bottled. The town bus leaves the main harbour of Yialos on the hour every hour between 8am and midnight during the tourist season. Car and Scooter hire is available. The taxi boats leave the main harbour at 10,11,12,and 1 each day taking visitors to the many beaches. Other beaches are in easy walking distance. The villa owner reside in a separate studio apartment on the property to take care of the garden and pool and assist guests to make the most of their stay on Symi.
