The basement houses four additional bedrooms, each with natural light and ventilation, alongside a comfortable sitting room and a second kitchen.
Outside, guests can enjoy the lush green gardens, paved terrace, and ladder-entry private swimming pool. White cushioned sun loungers and shady parasols surround the pool, inviting relaxation. An outdoor seating area under a straw-roofed pergola offers a tranquil spot for reading or enjoying cocktails prepared at the nearby mini bar. Alfresco dining is a delight with fresh produce from the potager and a choice of gas or charcoal rotisserie.
Just a short walk from a sandy beach, Villa Petro promises an idyllic setting for creating lasting holiday memories.
Villa Petro is situated along the coast of Petrothalassa, near the picturesque harbour of Porto Heli, offering impressive sea views of Trikeri, Spetses, and Dokos islands. The closest international airport is Athens, with travel to Porto Heli conveniently accessible via ferry from Piraeus harbour followed by a short taxi ride to the villa or if you are driving down by car or taxi, the route for Spetses takes you to the coast of Costa and is about a 3 hour drive. Nestled in a secluded residential bay, Villa Petro faces the shoreline amidst a small cluster of similar luxury residences. The nearest beach is just steps away from the villa.
Local shops for essentials are located approximately two and a half kilometres away, offering opportunities to enjoy local bars for ouzo or traditional tavernas for meze. Porto Heli, a summer resort located three kilometres down the road, provides ferry connections to Spetses, Hydra, and Poros islands. Visitors can explore Porto Heli's cosmopolitan atmosphere, featuring upscale shops, local arts and crafts, waterfront dining, and relaxed cafes ideal for people-watching. Evenings can be spent under the stars at the town's open-air cinema.

Boat trips offer opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling, either aboard chartered yachts or group tours.
Nature enthusiasts can enjoy scenic walks or hikes along the dramatic coastline, exploring local flora and fauna. From the harbour at Costa, ferries depart for Spetses, a car-free ancient island rich in history dating back to 8000 BC. Spetses offers exploration by horse-drawn carriage, bicycle, motorcycle, or taxi, visiting secret bays, Bekiris cave, Vrelos sandy beach, and the Bouboulina Museum.
