Is it your dream to be the proud owner of a Greek family villa? From space to privacy to a private pool, Greek family villas can really be a slice of heaven. I’ve hand-selected some fantastic ones. Read on to find your new home.
The Greek family villa. A place for the entire family to come together under the Grecian sunshine. When you are buying a property abroad, one of the most essential questions to ask is what do you intend to use your property for? And following on from that, who do you envision spending time there? Your answers to these questions will have a direct impact on the number of bedrooms you’re looking for in your new home.
Room enough for everyone…
It may be that you are intending to move to Greece as a family. Perhaps, you’ve been offered a new position there. Or you are just looking to experience a totally different way of life. Maybe you’re looking to break away the fast pace of the city, or you want your kids to be able to run around in the sunshine, or you want the whole family to learn a new language and culture. Whatever allures you to Greece, you’re going to need bedrooms enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. While it is possible to find apartments with 3+ bedrooms, a villa will give you the space, freedom, and privacy for your family to enjoy Greece to the fullest.
Alternatively, you might not have kids to accommodate, but you are looking for a home that will have friends and extended family members booking the first flight to Greece to see your new abode. Could a heated pool in the mountains make your moody teenage grandson put down his phone for half an hour and spend some quality time with his loved ones?
Maybe you’re looking for a sizeable villa because you want your friends to come over. Instead of desperately trying to find the odd weekend to get together back in the UK, you can cook a delicious barbeque, dine under your pergola, and then have a wine or two in the hot tub. Sounds divine, doesn’t it?
A rental opportunity…
As well as a family villa being able to fit your nearest and dearest, a family villa is also a positive opportunity if you are looking to rent out your property as a holiday home. While you may be comfortable with a two-bedroom apartment, a three-bedroom villa is likely going to have much more appeal to holidaymakers. A family villa has more space, so they can squeeze in more guests; more privacy; and, of course, there’s the possibility of a private pool…
