WHITE HOME PIGEONS is a traditional country villa equipped with all modern conveniences. The house was built in 2011, it was constructed with a great deal of love, passion, and respect for the standards of Cycladic architecture on Tinos, which is dominated by transoms (skylights), double doors (due to the strong winds on Tinos) and natural building materials such as stone, wood and marble.
​
It is situated in an idyllic location, surrounded by a lush landscape of trees, plants and aromatic shrubs in the region of Kionia 3.5 kilometres from the port of Tinos , just 300 metres from the beach of the same name. The views from the house are endless and breathtaking, both to the sea and to the surrounding mountains.
The location is ideal for nature lovers, the villa is safely accessed using only a 4x4 vehicle, in case of following the Route 1. Otherwise, it is suggested to follow the Route 2 for any kind of vehicles.
Within the spectacular grounds of the 4-acre property there is ample parking space for your car.
For years, the site was the heart of a busy farm, where even today the old threshing floor, the water well and a century-old dovecote, a remarkable example of the unique local folk architecture, are still in existence!
