147,950€

Idyllic and cute detached cottage nestled at the foot of the citadel ruins in the heart of Oria village.

You approach the property up a newly cobbled side street, up the walled path, which at this point still gives you no clue as to the little gem hidden on the other side.

Through the pretty wrought iron gate you enter a characterful courtyard garden that climbs upwards with the steps enticing you to a small cave seating area...and on further still to a large open roof terrace with gorgeous views over the village.
Now for the home... ❤️

This really is an attractive cottage with it's whitewashed walls and scattered bursts of colour. Through the traditional style front door you enter a warm and inviting kitchen diner, indeed there is a large wood-burner however the warmth here emanates from the personality and colours used throughout. 2 windows allow natural light to flood in.
