With views of the sea and the mountains, this villa has the best of both worlds. We love the rooftop garden with its Jacuzzi and magnificent vistas. You can relax on the pool's daybed as the kids play ping pong and jump on the trampoline. And when it's time for lunch, why not let your host arrange a private chef to cook some tasty food on the barbecue or wood stove? There's plenty to keep everyone occupied here for sure, but there's also so much to discover in the area. Situated in Xirosterni, a charming village with stone-built houses, you'll be a five-minute drive from the golden sands and crystal waters of Almyrida Beach.
