Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

One of four similar villas within a serviced complex, this place is ideal for those who want to be able to walk into town, stroll to the beach in minutes, have access to all manner of hotel-style facilities and yet enjoy the comfort of a private swimming pool. It sits just outside the coastal town of Agios Nikolaos, within walking distance of the charming waterfront. The villa’s complex boasts a shared swimming pool, fitness centre and spa, cinema and sports facilities. But those who value privacy can spend days by the villa’s own swimming pool, taking in the view of the Aegean Sea. The upper terrace is the perfect spot for sundowners or evening meals and the interior has everything you need for self-catering.

Home truths

    Your host operates several villas here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.

    While the bathrooms and kitchen aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    This home is part of a luxury villa complex so guests here have access to some shared facilities such as a spa and fitness centre, playgrounds, room service and cinema.

    A barbecue station can be provided on request.

    Your host can provide cots and high chairs for infants, just ask.

    The private swimming pool is heated between April and May and in late October.

    Having a car is recommended and there is private parking.
