Panoramic views await at this modern villa, located just a ten-minute drive from Platanias. The garden has a small, square-shaped pool, a summer kitchen, and fantastic vistas of the sparkling sea and the Island of Theodorou. Indoors, an open-plan living space makes gathering together a dream, while a sleek kitchen has you covered if you're not in the mood to barbecue. There is also a convenient desk for quick business calls and a Jacuzzi-style tub in the main en-suite. A double sofa bed keeps seeing arrangements adaptable – although, with only two bathrooms here, we suggest a reduced guest count unless you don't mind sharing.

    Unfortunately, this home is not suitable for children or infants. Please contact your host for more information.

    Some of the bedrooms may be a little plain, especially the second double bedroom. The contemporary decor may also not suit everyone.
