A collection of three villas sitting atop a hilltop on the island of Skelopos, this address has a few aces up its sleeve. The first has to be the incredible 360-degree views, which take in the dazzlingly blue Aegean Sea, the village of Glossa and mountains covered in pine forests. Thankfully, there are plenty of spots from which to enjoy this spectacular panorama, including a selection of covered terraces and the swimming pool in the middle of the outdoor space. You can even appreciate the scenery while indoors thanks to the large windows in each home. When you get around to giving it a closer look, you'll notice that the design throughout all three has a rustic charm, with wooden ceiling beams and earthy tones making for an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Although there's certainly an air of tranquillity at the address, it doesn't take too long to reach somewhere with a bit more life. The cafes and restaurants of Glossa take just over five minutes to reach in the car, while Loutraki Beach is a twelve-minute drive.
