Sleeping 36 guests in 18 bedrooms, this spacious villa has all the luxury comforts you’ll need for a relaxing stay including infinity pools, a spa and a gym all with magnificent sea views. Soft stone walls create the main buildings of the villa, adding to the rustic charm of the landscape and blending with the Greecian architecture. As you step into the villa, on the ‘entrance level’, you immediately feel at home.

Designed to make your stay effortless, the main communal living area is on this level plus two bedrooms. The interior of the villa is white or beige, making this villa a calming contrast to the hot sun outside. Original features have been restored and made a part of the décor including bare floorboards on the ceiling. A corridor between the dining, kitchen and lounge alcoves connects the spaces seamlessly. A large living room sits at one end. Cushioned sofas face the fireplace and TV while the glass doors open out to a patio, sheltered by a large pergola with comfortable lounge chairs. A dining room, with a table seating 12 guests sits in the middle alcove while a fully equipped kitchen is set back at the end.

The two bedrooms on this level have king-size beds, an ensuite, views of the sea and access to a balcony. The villa's bedrooms are carefully decorated, mixing minimalism and character, using rustic textures to create a home away from home. All bedrooms have additional seating areas within the rooms, plus a spacious, modern ensuite with a walk-in shower. Guests have access to a 50-inch flat screen TV, hairdryer, safe box and air-conditioning in each room.Outside the entrance level, you will also find, four guest houses, each with queen size beds and kitchenettes. One of the rooms has access to a private infinity pool, specifically designed for privacy and relaxation.

In a separate building is a modern gym, equipped with two treadmills, bicycles, weight machines, kettlebells and yoga mats. You’ll be keeping up your routine while surrounded by the beautiful landscape. Here you also have an in-house spa, with a massage table, steam room, cold barrel shower and jacuzzi. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen is ready for everyone to enjoy breakfast in front of the sea view on a large breakfast table, seating up to 40 guests. A BBQ area with alfresco seating is designed for long evenings together. Seating 40 guests, you can all enjoy the smells of the food cooking while you talk and laugh the night away. With a fully equipped sound system installed outside, you can hire a local musician or play your favourite playlist, as you dance or watch the wood fire die down.

Back inside the villa, down the staircase, on the ground floor, are nine bedrooms, with access to the main patio. Six bedrooms have views of the pools and sea, while three have views of the peaceful gardens, filled with olive trees. There is also a large games room with a football table, an opportunity to put your fellow holidaymakers to the test with an in-house tournament. Outside the ground floor, two large infinity pools dominate the outside level, cooling you off from the hot sun. Outdoor showers are nearby to rinse after a soak in the pool or to simply cool off from lounging in the sunshine. You also have the option of heating both pools, at an additional nightly charge, allowing you to swim in comfort under the stars. The third infinity pool is attached to a master bedroom on the top floor.

Sunbeds and pouffes surround the pools as well as three double sunbeds. A large hammock is a perfect way to spend an afternoon relaxing with your favourite book or for an afternoon snooze. The gardens are surrounded by olive trees, adding greenery and a paradise feel. At the ‘top upper level’ of the villa is three, spacious master bedrooms, all with double king-size beds. Up here you have the added luxury of having a kitchenette, so you can enjoy your morning coffee in peace on a private balcony, looking out to sea.
