At this villa, style, tradition and functionality work in perfect harmony. Exposed stone walls, wooden beams on the ceilings and glossy marble flooring honour the home's roots, but contemporary comforts abound. There's the sparkling pool with hydromassage jets ideal for cooling off on balmy afternoons, the jacuzzi bathtub fit for relaxing in the evenings and the fully-equipped kitchen that has everything you'll need to rustle up a Mediterranean feast. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and cosy, but step out onto the terrace and you'll have a postcard-perfect view of the sea. Whether you're lazing about on the poolside lounge chairs or sharing a bottle of bubbly under the stars, the ocean is your backdrop – we can't think of a more idyllic setting. Even better than the views is the location, just a seven-minute stroll to Plakia Beach. There are a few waterfront eateries nearby, but the real action is in Pefki, a quick five-minute car ride. By day, it's a popular spot for snorkelling and relaxing on the sand, but at night, the beachside tavernas, bars and restaurants come alive with music. You'll have even more choices for shopping, dining and sightseeing in bustling Lindos, a ten-minute drive away.
