A pristine private pool, inspiring interior and a spacious balcony blanketed by the sun – all this and more is what awaits you at this gorgeous Grecian villa. Spoiler alert – it’s a bit of a showstopper, so be sure to pack your polarised sunnies for this vacation, or you might just be blinded by its beauty. The ideal escape to retreat to with friends and family, this fabulous home has been primped to perfection and laden with little luxuries right through. The colour scheme is a bevy of neutral hues, adding to that sense of calm, meanwhile the medley of chic decorative touches instantly inject homey appeal. The interior of this home is nothing short of stunning, but it’s the outside that’s the real jewel in the crown. Plunge into the depths of the azure rectangular pool for a refreshing dip before perching yourself on one of the surrounding sun loungers to soak up the rays. For those that love nothing more than a spot of al fresco dining, the downstairs patio and first floor balcony are ideal. Here you can also watch the sunrise and set in style. Straddle the change from sunlight to starlight and while the evening away... over a large glass of Vinsanto wine. Take it from us – you’ll be in absolutely no rush to peel yourself away from this slice of paradise, but if you fancy a little venture beyond the garden gates, there’s plenty going on to keep you busy and entertained. As well as having restaurants within walking distance, the beach is just a short stroll away, too, allowing you to wander the sandy shoreline at your leisure.
