You could never tire of the panoramic views of the Ionian Sea from this villa fringing the laid-back village of Spartia. The contemporary interiors will appeal to all you minimalists, and the private sauna, steam room and gym are a bonus. There's also a playroom and table tennis to keep kids busy. While the infinity-edged pool is impressive, it's worth noting there is open-barred poolside fencing surrounding it, so you'll need to keep a watchful eye on little ones. Location-wise, you're just a few minutes' drive from Spartia's sandy cove beach (2.2km), minimarket, bakery and local tavernas. Or, for a change of scene, the golden sands of Avithos and Agios Thomas are just a fifteen-minute drive.

Home truths

    While not all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    There is ample private parking outside the villa.

    Please note that young children would need supervision due to the low balcony walls, open-barred poolside fencing and gym equipment.

    The swimming pool may only be available to use between April and October – please speak to your host for the exact opening and closing dates.

    Bedrooms are set across three levels, though one of the bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom is located on the ground level. It’s also worth noting that the fifth bedroom, located on the lower level, has limited natural light from a skylight window.
