Visit Villa Lana, a family house in Osor, a town with unique spirit, where culture and history interweave with the beauty of nature in a very charming way.
The house is located in a lovely flowery street, awarded the „Most beautiful island street“ title on more than one occasion.
Surrounded by a spacious garden and a stone wall, the house is comfortably located away from the summer bustle, while at the same time being so close to everything.
Everything is at your fingertips in Osor. Whether you go for a stroll along the city walls, or decide to explore Bijar Bay, a pine forest, or ruins of a monastery, no destination is more than five minutes away.
Absence of noise and traffic makes Osor very attractive to families with small children.
Villa Lana is a three storey family home. Its 180-square meter size and a large garden make it an ideal choice for two families, or a group of friends.
Six rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a toilet, all equipped for a year-round stay await guests. Electric powered central heating and a fireplace secure the warmth and the atmosphere even on a windy, colder day. However, such are rare, as Osor is blessed with the mild Mediterranean climate.
Two large living rooms are pleasantly cool even on hot and sultry days. Equipped with Mediterranean style sofas, a desk, card table, satellite TV and Wi-Fi connection, as well as a bamboo recliner favored by all who indulge in afternoon naps, or siesta.
If you feel like sunbathing and catching a tan quickly, the first-floor living room exits into a flower clad terrace, ideally positioned to catch the rays. If it is a shade and coolness you crave, a retractable sunscreen turns the terrace into a shaded oasis, perfect for reading sessions, or cocktail sipping until sundown.
There are four bedrooms on the first and second floor. One with a king-size bed, the other three with two single beds. Each floor has its own bathroom. There is also a toilet on the ground floor and an extra shower in the garden.
The kitchen is large, spacious and lavishly equipped. It exits into a herb part of the garden, offering an easy access to cooking ingredients, as well as a touch of inspiration. Just reach through the window, or step into a garden and transfer the fragrant aromas of mint, basil, thyme, oregano, chives, sage or rosemary onto your plate.
The 340-square meter garden is surrounded by a high stone wall, offering a true sense of privacy to the residents. Tiled terraces round the house, with deck chairs, a barbecue and a large dining table beneath a wine pergola on one side, and for the recreation loving guests, table tennis on the other.
A lovely palm tree is the centerpiece of the green part of the garden, accompanied by lavender, wisteria and tecoma bushes, an old olive tree, lilac, rose and many more sweet smelling flowers. In the springtime, when the garden is in full bloom, the multitude of colors and fragrances is nothing short of stunning.
A refreshing swim and the beach are less than two minutes’ walk. The market or a cafe are just fifty steps away, as well as town's four restaurants, the museum and the cathedral.
Three free of charge parking lots are located about 200 meters from the house, so reaching Villa Lana by car is easy.
Guests arriving by boat can moor safely in the nearby small marina.
