The Pool and Garden

Private pool terrace and mature gardens

The swimming pool at Portokali Cottage is set on a private terrace behind the house. There are lovely sea and sunset views beyond the wooded valley below.

The swimming pool at Portokali Cottage is set on a private stone walled terrace behind the house. The pool terrace overlooks a gentle tree clad valley which stretches towards the sea at Cape Dafnoudi. Superb sunsets can be enjoyed from the pool terrace and the front of the cottage.

The pool measures 5.5 metres x 3.10 metres with an approximate depth of 1.55 m.

 

 

 

 

The gardens around Portokali Cottage are mature and well established among the stone terraces. On the drive, there are two small orange trees and a particularly bountiful lemon tree.  In Greek, the word for orange tree is “Portokali” and it is from this tree that the cottage takes its name. The other mature trees and shrubs are typically Mediterranean and include a walnut tree, a plum tree, olive trees, lavender, bougainvillea, plumbago and oleander bushes.

 

 

In front of the main entrance to the cottage is a large shaded terrace with a farmhouse table for al fresco dining.

There is a third small sun terrace which is directly off the twin bedroom.  From here, there are views of Assos and the Paliki peninsula.
