Beautiful eco-friendly”Agrikea”, with a large swimming pool and sea view for rent on the island of Kea (LP1568)

Introduction

Agrikea is addressed to eco conscious travellers whose idea of luxury is simplicity, privacy, nature and tranquillity combined with homely hospitality.

Relaxation being the objective while enjoying expansive sea views and magical sunsets.

Only one hour away by boat via the port of Lavrio, Kea is the closest island of the Cyclades to Athens.

Agrikea, situated in the hills above the port, it is an ideal choice for relaxation, while giving you quick and easy access to the more lively spots of the island at 4km away.

The House

Agrikea is addressed to the true nature lover who wishes to have a different holiday experience. The concept of Agrikea is beyond the limits of the classical beach holiday, without excluding it.

The farm guesthouse is built based on the traditional architecture of the island taking it a step further. A lot of local elements have been used (like the local stone walling) in order for the building to be in harmony with the landscape. We believe that luxury is in simplicity, purity and privacy.

Private outside spaces have been created for every studio – bedroom – suite, while numerous common outside spaces for activities and relaxation exist throughout the 1 hectare farm.

At Agrikea, we take the need to protect our environment very seriously having numerous eco measures in place to contribute towards that. Bioclimatic design with ceiling fans and no aircon, recycling both of waste and water, eco friendly cleaning products, bio vegetable gardens and poultry farming are just a few of them.

The property has 6 bedrooms that can sleep 13 people in total, a communal sitting room and communal indoor kitchen plus one communal outdoor cooking bench. Every bedroom has its own private external entrance, en-suite bathroom and private outside space. Some have small kitchenettes.

The property is cleaned and serviced daily. The caretakers live in a separate property in the farm. Breakfast is provided by the staff daily if you wish so between 08:30 and 12:00.
