The ee24.com portal selected five most beautiful houses with no less beautiful views from the windows. In our catalog, the largest one on the Russian Internet in terms of the number of European real estate offers, there is something you must see!
Choosing a house to your liking, what are the points that you pay attention to first of all? Space? It is important, no doubt. The quality of construction? It’s clear-sighted. Interiors and furniture? That's right, there’s no use moving into a box with bare walls. Climate? Sure, that’s first of all! Who wants to live in a country where winters are cold and it always rains in summer?
Other options? Well, of course! Every single morning you'll wake up in your new house and look out of the window in the first place. Well, has the sun risen? Is the sea splashing? Has anything changed while I was sleeping? So beautiful view from the window is almost the most important thing that can be in the new house. That's why we've selected five houses that will open a window into the world. Microsoft can’t even dream about it!
So let’s go! The first stop is Turkey. Antalya coast, to be precise.
Among green hills there is a cozy two-storey villa. Everything is in order here: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living and dining rooms, a swimming pool and, of course, a blooming garden. But all these pleasures fade, if you decide to have a walk along the terrace. I don’t know how soon you will manage to get rid of the feeling that you are an ancient god looking down from Mount Olympus at your Mediterranean paradise. Covered in greenery, mountain slopes descend slowly to the serene sea, and you can’t see its borders. And Alanya is at some distance, a city of mere mortals who are only a little less happy than you. And it is only because they do not have the opportunity to see all this unearthly beauty from your angle.
But even when the first stunning impression is gone, you will be no less happy. As while sitting on the terrace, enjoying the warm sea breeze and overlooking the surrounding beauty, you will catch yourself thinking that life is good! What else can you need to be happy?
From Turkey we are moving to Spain. It is the very South of this is already not the most Northern country.
Here, on the Mediterranean coast under endless blue sky in Cadiz there is a townhouse, built in the classic Andalusian style. There are no mountains, and it means that nothing will prevent you to see one sunny morning how the endless sea of greenery meets the boundless salty sea. However, the boundlessness of it is questionable, as if you look closely, you can see the distant shore of exotic Africa.
Having said goodbye to the friendly Spanish, let’s return to Turkey.
And again splendid Antalya stretches before your eyes. Sloping mountains. Clean sea of such color that cannot be distinguished from the endless blue sky. But of course, the most important thing is mountains. It seems that you can admire their curves forever. Even years later, when the entire landscape becomes thoroughly familiar, you find some detail that simply did not attract your attention all these years and waited for its time to face the bored owner. A special treat: walking in the surrounding area of your villa and noticing how familiar places look from new, previously unfamiliar places. Actually, no words can describe this beauty. You should be here and see everything yourself.
And meanwhile we will move to the North. They are tired of waiting for us in Greece.
Here on the east coast of the glorious island of Peloponnese, not far from the lovely, sandy beach there is a villa, white as snow, which is something unknown in this area. If you go out to the spacious terrace, and look proudly at the neighborhood, you can stay there for a long time. The view is fascinating. The trick is not only great spaces, but things that fill this space. Here is a warm bay with scattered evergreen islands that tempt to swim there and find out what there is.
Those who are too lazy to cross the bay, can just go to the courtyard and enjoy the cool shade of private garden. In the evening, sitting in a lounge chair on the beach and listening to the rustle of the surf and looking at the sky, dotted with billions of stars, you will realize that the idea to move here came to you in a good hour.
And we finish our tour of the picturesque corners of Europe, as expected, in Cannes.
In the city of movie stars and the rich there is an elite penthouse with a perfect view. Sitting on the spacious terrace with a glass of wine, you can look at the sea, enjoy the view of the promenade or look at luxury yachts that sway peacefully near the quay. No clouds on the horizon, warm sun and sea breeze. Only as a nice complement there are three bedrooms, a living room and a garage. Although I'm sure, that this terrace, seagulls and a lovely view of perhaps the best city in the world would be enough for many people.
