This spacious villa has an undertone of regality and oozes class. Antique furniture, contemporary white decor and natural textures will stop you in your tracks as you step inside. And, while the interior is stunning and the perfect respite from the sun’s rays, the outdoor space is where this home bursts into life. If you picture your perfect holiday, we imagine you’re relaxing somewhere with swaying palm trees, plenty of places to eat, drink and simply relax outdoors, a private pool to cool off in when the heat of the day becomes too much and if you’re really lucky, just a short stroll from the beach. If so, this is the home for you. Lie back on your sun bed, close your eyes and you can hear the waves lapping on the shore a short distance away as the sun warms your skin. Jump into your private pool to cool off from the heat, and maybe take a short stroll, through your garden gate, down onto the golden sands of Sfakaki beach. This home is made for making memories with your loved ones. As evening calls, wander home and fire up the barbecue for a delicious meal alfresco. Open a bottle... of wine and settle down for the night, because you have the best vantage point for a breathtaking sunset. As the sky glows from burnt orange to flamboyant pink and the sun finally dips below the ocean, take a moment to look around you. This is what happiness looks like.
