About this property

Beautiful restored farmhouse with private pool and gardens

Our property in Jopi lies right at the edge of a quiet village and is a lovingly restored farmhouse that was fully renovated in 2015. It consists of an old farmhouse that sits under the shade of a huge Ladonja tree on one side, and a huge modern living area and kitchen on the other.

Outside boasts a custom-built grill area and private pool set amid a beautifully designed, large garden with lawn perfect for children to play in.

Upstairs there is a vast master bedroom with private terrace, large shower room and separate mezzanine TV area as well as an ante-room that can be used as an over-spill sleeping area.

Downstairs there is a double and twin bedroom sharing a large shower room that are set off the large open plan kitchen and living space, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas that could comfortably accommodate a large dinner party.

The property has Wi-Fi and air-conditioning in the living area and master bedroom. The downstairs bedrooms benefit from the natural, dark cooling nature of the old stone farmhouse but there are also fans available for the really hot nights.

This characterful property is full of charming traditional features including original beams and stone niches. It was fully restored in 2015.

The house

On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen and living area as well as separate dining area with a dining table sitting 10-12. There’s a spacious seating area in front of the large open fireplace with two enormous sofas and other comfortable stools with a great selection of board games.

The dining area is set in the beautiful and cavernous entrance hall with an almost floor to ceiling window looking out to the pool and garden.

Off the kitchen area are the double and twin bedrooms, set apart from the living area with a small corridor so no need to worry about noise waking the early-to-beds.

Off the mezzanine and TV area on the first floor is a small ante-room with pull out bed that leads on to the huge master bedroom. The large shower room has a wonderfully designed, and powerful, walk in shower. The ceiling sports beautifully restored and painted beams.

Tucked under the eaves, the huge master bedroom has a double bed (160 x 200 cm) and an en-suite shower-room.

Outside

A semi-indoor dining and grill area is set just outside the large sliding doors to the garden. From here you can get a 180 degree view of the garden, pool and surrounding forest and fields.

Across the path is a swimming pool (32 m2) and terrace with wicker seats and umbrella. The grass between the old, recovered olive trees has room for six sun loungers.

Just outside the front door, to the left, is the laundry room with washing machine, clothes racks, and a large fridge/freezer (there is no freezer inside the house).

There is private, off-road parking at the end of the garden for two cars.

Stunning farmhouse property
The minute we walked on the property we fell in love. Gorgeous farmhouse that has been upgraded to the highest standard. The outside space with the pool and the quiet setting was so relaxing. The inside space is very spacious, clean and so well appointed. We didn’t want to leave the villa! Waking up early and listening to the quietness of the countryside was everything we wanted. The location was great as it was about 1/2 hour to many different towns. The host was very helpful and responsive. The on line listing is completely on point, in fact, the pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful experience we had. We hope to be able to come back one day.

Schönes Haus für einen Urlaub
Das Haus ist toll, allerdings mit kleinen Abstrichen...bei Gewitter und Regen ist das Haus an einer Ecke undicht, der Strom fällt relativ leicht aus und uns war der Pool einfach etwas zu kalt. Desweitern fehlte uns in der Küche etwas an Geschirr (z.B. nur 4 Tiefe Teller und 3 Biergläser...) kann man alles improvisieren und ist kein wirkliches Problem. Für Hundebesitzer wie wir es sind: das Grundstück ist am Carport komplett offen und zum Haus dahinter (welches man auf Bildern leider überhaupt nicht in der Beschreibung sieht), ist nur eine kleine, leicht zu überwindbare Mauer. Also die Hunde sollten keine sein, die weglaufen. Zur Ruhe: wir sind Dorfmenschen und absolute Ruhe von zu Hause gewöhnt - die hatten wir dort leider nicht ganz so. Der Hahn war ab 5.00 Uhr fit und die Grillen extrem laut in der Nacht. Wir haben Stemmgeräte von anderen Baustellen wahrgenommen und wenn die Nachbarn im Haus dahinter lauter sind, hört man die natürlich auch. Auch die Dorfjugend war immer ziemlich lange auf ihren Mofas unterwegs und hat einigen Lärm gemacht. Aber das sind wirklich nur unsere Eindrücke und machen das Haus keinesfalls schlecht. Für den Preis allerdings, der sich im oberen Bereich befindet, fehlte es uns etwas an Luxus (das kennen wir auch anders) Der Kontakt zum Vermieter und zum Hausmeister waren sehr angenehm.
