Stay in a mini holiday resort, all to yourself, at this lavish home on the Athenian Riviera. Three separate villas make up the accommodation, all sharing plush outdoor space for the group to socialise in style. Pad barefoot around the manicured Mediterranean gardens, blooming with flowers, olive trees and fragrant shrubs. Lavender surrounds the pristine swimming pool and, from here, you can catch a glimpse of the Evian Gulf, flanked by mountains through the ancient trees. Dining is a delight beneath the terracotta-roofed gazebo and a fully-stocked bar can provide the sundowners. True to any luxurious resort, there are staff on-hand to arrange your every whim – a boat trip around the Riviera, at-home massages or perhaps a private chef.

Each of the three villas is a modern haven inside, with plush sofas adorning each living room and glass doors letting the sunlight stream in. The palette is a neutral mix of stone, wood and sea-blue with seashell curtains, maritime paintings and beachy ceramics a nod to your waterside location.

You’ve got direct access to the sea from the villa, so there’s no need to put your shoes on to reach the crystal shallows on the shore. And if you fancy a day trip to Athens, it’s less than an hour by car.

If you’re on the lookout for chic design, epic sea views and a beach on your doorstep, this is it. Perched on Evia’s seafront, this eye-popping seven-bedroom villa delivers on style. An infinity pool of dreams glimmers ahead of the stunning, architect-built home. Sink into an outdoor sofa with a glass of wine and watch the sea sparkle. Bliss. Or potter down to the peaceful beach where loungers are waiting. 

Inside, expect some ultra-cool styling. Bold prints on the wall and wood floors keep things homely and welcoming. Bedrooms are roomy and come with en-suites and ocean views. Whip up a feast in one of two kitchens, or fire up the barbecue.

Spend days swimming in the sea or lounging poolside. If you can drag yourself away, Anthidona is your nearest village, 2km away. Or head a little further to Eretria (25kn) for a dose of history.

On days when adventure is all you can think about, venture out to the Capital City of Athens, where you can enjoy endless shopping, dining and tourist opportunities.

This sleek apartment is within walking distance of the Athens coast, with great sea views. While the minimalist design might not be for everyone, the location is ideal for those who don't want to be in the centre of the city. The outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at sunset and offers unobstructed views of the Aegean sea. You'll want a car for heading into central Athens, but it's an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, and the sandy Yabanaki beach.

Gods of Attica

Toaster

Listen to the sweet soundscape of the waves gently lapping at the shore while the birds call out across the sky, as from this serene location, you'll be just a two-minute wander from Kavouri sandy Beach. Start your days with relaxing mornings amid the fresh sea air on the balcony over a cup of coffee. This is the perfect location to unwind, refresh and reset away from your daily grind. 

Inside, sleek, modern designs incorporate natural materials that mimic the surrounding environment. With comfortable seating and luxury furnishings across the space, switching off and chilling out is made all the easier when staying here.

Beyond the apartment, discover the blissful calm of staying on the Athenian Riviera. The town of Vouliagmeni boasts a variety of up-market dining options, luxury boutiques and a charming harbour – perfect for coastal strolls. 



Sweet Soundscape 

Desk

This sleek and stylish villa awaits you with gorgeous views overlooking the surrounding area from the balcony. Natural daylight pours in through the large windows, doubling up as doors that grant you direct access to the outdoor space. Put your feet up on the sofa as you watch a movie together on the TV, or unwind with a bottle of red while you read a brand new book. You don't have to worry about missing out on your exercise routine while you're staying here, with a handy at-home gym you can keep your beloved workout routine. 

Cook up a delicious homemade meal inspired by the Grecian cuisine you'll be sampling during your time here. Tuck into the hearty plate of food at the wooden dining table – washed down with a glass of bubbly and paired with a scenic view by the window. Two of the bedrooms give you access to the outdoors, with one leading to the balcony and the other to the refreshing pool. The large windows in these bedrooms allow ample daylight to stream in, as well as provide an absolutely beautiful view of the sunset. Relax by the pool as you bathe in the amber glow of the evening or take a dip as you admire the encompassing landscape.

Head out to visit Althea Beach where you can spend your days by the sea, listening to the ocean waves as you relax under the sun with a refreshing drink. Take a drive along the coastline where you'll find Beach Duni Island – a fantastic spot to take those much-loved holiday snaps.

If you’re on the lookout for a super-house for multiple families, in a spectacular island setting, this is it. Standing high on a hill on stunning Aegina Island, the home is perfectly placed. The 180-degree ocean views are epic from here. But the buzzy city centre is pleasingly close enough just 4km away. 

The villa is set over four levels, with plenty of space for a gang of eighteen. The vibe is relaxed, with lots of colour and homely touches. Families will especially love it here. Table tennis, giant chess, a playground and basketball facilities mean the kids are well catered for. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can recline with a book by the oh-so-chic infinity pool. Heaven. 

If you can drag yourself away, it’s worth exploring this beautiful island. Your nearest beach is Marathonas – its shallow water makes it a great spot for little ones to swim. Or don your best hiking shoes and explore the nature-rich mountains where there are ancient chapels to discover. 

Then head home, fire up the built-in barbecue and feast with your loved ones as the sun sets over the ocean.

Tucked away on the island of Kea, this villa is one of three properties on the complex, located in the area of Akrotiri Otzia. Surrounded by serene natural beauty and an infinity of blue, from here, you'll get to lap up sparkling sea views from the moment you arrive. 

The picturesque terrace boasts a private swimming pool, plenty of comfy seating areas, sun loungers and a grand alfresco dining area under a shaded pergola. Meanwhile, the villa's interiors nod to the harmonious white and blue colour palette often seen in the Cyclades. In addition, natural materials such as stone and wood create a laid-back ambience offering a constant reminder of your stunning Greek island location. 

With direct access to the sea (if you follow the stairs leading to a small bay with pebbles), you'll have the sun, sea and oh-so-majestic views at your fingertips here. And with the local restaurants less than a ten-minute drive away, you'll have the option to dine by the beach when you don't feel like cooking at the villa. 






Sparkle of Light

Found on the Athenian Riviera, a stone's throw from Vouliagmeni Beach, this compact apartment is perfect for a small family of beach lovers. But though the sandy shores a ten-minute walk away is a major draw, there's plenty else to experience around here. The Vouliagmeni Lake, with its thermal springs, can be found in minutes, and you can walk to the restaurant-line square of Vouliagmeni in under ten. The home is spacious, bright and well-kept, with a little balcony for alfresco meals and peaceful reading. 

Between White Columns

This amazing Greek villa is located on the North-East coast of the Island of Kea. The stone house looks out over the beautiful turquoise ocean with a view of the island of Euboea and the coast of Attica. 

The perfect home for relaxing and recovering, why not take so time to lounge in the Greek sunshine and enjoy the warmth of its rays on your skin. Then, slip into the cooling waters of the freshwater swimming pool, and enjoy the stunning views while you float leisurely in the pool. 

Just a six-minute drive to Otzias, you can enjoy the sandy beaches and soothing sound of waves lapping at the shore, or dine in one of the local Tavernas. The village of Vourkari – just an eight-minute drive away – provides an opportunity for not only beach days but also scuba diving experiences. 

Coressia, the island’s port, is just a twelve-minute drive away, while the capital Ioulis is a twenty-five-minute drive away. In Ioulis you will be able to visit the archaeological museum and even see the Lion of Kea – an impressive early Greek stone monument that dates back to the Archaic period. 

What’s more, there is a regular ferry connection between Athens and Kea which takes about an hour, taking you to the Lavrion port. From here, you can drive about fifty-six minutes to Greece’s capital and explore everything Athens has to offer. 

After all your exploring, return home to the villa in the evening and cook some delicious souvlaki on the barbecue before dining alfresco as you enjoy the sun setting over the vista. 

Kea to my Heart

Home Cinema Setup

Rain Shower

Underfloor Heating

Sparkling sea views, oodles of balconies and a dazzling pool for swims in the sun – what more could you want for a holiday in Greece? Bright, serene and stylish, this modern villa has four floors of contemporary conveniences, from the compact gym and TV lounge downstairs to the light-filled living space on the second floor. There's even an in-house elevator, so you won't need to worry about dragging your baggage up and down all the steps. 

We love a lot about this villa – underfloor heating, mood lighting, rainfall showers – but our favourite has to be the lavish main suite. Set on the entirety of the top floor, not only does it have a jacuzzi tub in the en-suite bathroom, but a private balcony, where you can savour your morning coffee and admire the ebb and flow of the ocean. In the afternoons, sip wine in the sunshine and cool off with a dip in the pool. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up something delicious in the high-spec kitchen and dig in on the grassy courtyard, then make your way out to the many balconies and watch as the sun dips below the horizon.

When you fancy venturing out, it's just a five-minute drive to Althea Beach and thirty minutes to Athens, so you'll have a choice between sand and surf or city sightseeing – we think that's the best of both worlds.

Myths of Lore

This home's sea views are nothing short of breathtaking. You'll find it on the Akropolis of Skiathos, perched above the town's terracotta-tiled roofscape and promising tranquillity. From the glistening infinity pool, admire sweeping panoramas across the pine-speckled coastline, out towards Maragos Island and over to the white sands of Megali Ammos beach below – a four-minute stroll from your doorstep.

A masterclass in indoor-outdoor living, this lavish home beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Upon entry, an open-plan living space instantly impresses with high ceilings and a contemporary design aesthetic. Here, floor-to-ceiling glass doors seamlessly blend the chic lounge and fully-equipped kitchen with the shaded dining terrace and infinity pool, creating an expansive canvas primed for entertaining. Upstairs, the state-of-the-art video games room, fitted with soundproofing and plush sofas, is sure to keep your clan entertained. 

We wouldn't blame you for never wanting to leave this pocket of paradise. Though, if you do fancy exploring, you're perfectly positioned to do so, with Skiathos town and port just a fourteen-minute walk away. After a day of adventure, enjoy an alfresco feast before heading upstairs to the balcony for an evening dip in the jacuzzi. Wine glass in hand, watch the sunset over the horizon before retreating to your sumptuous bedroom for a restful slumber.

Agape

In the warm waters of the Aegean sea, Alonissos plays host to gorgeous beaches, ancient historical sites, and the vibrant port town of Patitiri. From here, you could board a catamaran to start an island-hopping tour of the Aegean, or you could take an eleven-minute drive to this utterly blissful villa.

Isolated from urban areas, this home really plays into the charming serenity of its surroundings.  Set over two floors, this bright white villa looks traditional from the outside. Sandwiched between blue skies above and the blue waters of your private freshwater pool below, the exterior colour scheme might remind you of a certain national flag. This Greek theme continues with olive trees and a welcome basket full of local wine and fresh fruits. Pour a glass to sip as you explore the grounds, passing below the shaded dining terrace and into the minimalist interiors.

Wooden ceilings with white painted beams mix traditional architecture with a fresh, modern colour scheme. This continues throughout the kitchen, living spaces, and upstairs into the elegant bedrooms. With open ensuites and views of leafy trees, you’ll love relaxing in these zen-like spaces after a long day out in the sun.

Fig & Grape

Ceiling Fans

Nestled just outside the small town of Otzias, there’s not a lot going on in this quiet corner of Greece, but you’ll have a variety of amenities at your fingertips that will make it difficult to leave this inviting home. Designed to take full advantage of the Mediterranean climate, it features a spacious outdoor entertainment area that wraps around the home. The communal spaces, like the infinity pool, barbecue and cosy seating zones, make it an ideal choice for a large family or group of friends. The Aegean Sea is steps away, but the shoreline is rocky, so you’ll need to drive to a local beach if you want to comfortably swim in the sea. 

The Sea's Embrace

With panoramic views over the saltwater Lake Vouliagmeni, Mount Hymettus and the Gulf of Corinth – this home is inspiring. It’s easy to escape the everyday stresses of life here. Enjoy the welcome basket of breakfast goodies provided by your lovely hosts, lounge by your private pool, relax in the jacuzzi or our favourite – watch the most glorious of sunsets from the balcony. 

If you’ve got the energy to burn, head to the basketball court for a friendly game. Inside, this modern luxurious villa, earthy tones create a warm and comforting environment. There are plenty of toys and games for the little ones too – this place is perfect for a family.

When you fancy exploring, take a ten-minute stroll to Lake Vouliagmeni with its charming tavernas and picturesque bars. Other attractions in the area include Loutraki Thermal Spa, five miles away, while the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth and Penteskoufi Castle are both around eight miles from this gorgeous home.

Start your day with breakfast, then stroll through the lush gardens, spend hours relaxing on a comfortable lounge chair by the sparkling infinity pool, and listen to the soothing sound of nature that surrounds this enchanting villa located in picturesque Egina Islands.

The sun terrace and swimming pool area can be accessed from the spacious living rooms, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

Beach Essentials

Sun Umbrellas

Located atop a rocky bar of Koundouros, this home is made up of independent lower and upper levels, each with their own kitchen and living areas. Outside, the terrace is well-equipped for soaking up the sun or alfresco dining, with lovely sea views and private sea access on the rock platforms below. Things might be a bit of a squeeze at full capacity, so you'll want to pack light. A ten-minute walk will bring you to the nearest sandy beaches of Koundouros, and you'll find beach bars, tavernas and water sports.

Turquoise Charm

Though the idea of being secluded on an island might not ordinarily conjure up a romantic image, this home on a Greek private island is quite the opposite. Located in the Cyclades, the estate stretches across 900 acres, enabling you and the rest of the group to rejuvenate in a picturesque and tranquil setting. 

Spend mornings meditating on the jetty before enjoying a cup of coffee with an alfresco breakfast. With plenty of outdoor seating options, there’s one perfect to every situation – stealing away for a romantic drink overlooking the water, reading with your feet in the sand of your private beach, or playing board games with a drink in hand. 

Inside you’ll glimpse elements of Cycladic architecture throughout the home, especially in the master bedroom, where the fireplace sits proudly. Though the crisp white colour palette and natural elements found around the house is lovely, the natural beauty outside is hard to compete with. If you wish to explore it in greater detail, you can utilise several cycling and walking routes or take to the waters by boat if you’d like to go further afield. For an even more unique experience, why not join a fisherman on his boat for the day? 

Engaged couples might also be won over by the private chapel and make the island their wedding destination. 

The Sunny Islander

Luxury Toiletries

Just steps away from the water's edge, with views across the Aegean Sea, you'll find this stunning villa. It's the perfect place to reset and relax in style – gather up your favourite people and get ready to make some fabulous memories in the Greek sunshine. 

There's a distinct sense of calm throughout the home, thanks to the natural fabrics and abundance of natural light. Three of the four bedrooms offer direct access to the balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee and breathe in the fresh air. If you follow the steps at the bottom of the garden, you will arrive at your very own little pebble beach and take a refreshing dip in the sea on hot days. And, there's also an alfresco Jacuzzi, which is ideal for long, luxurious soaks under the stars each evening.

It would be easy to never leave this little slice of paradise – especially since your host can organise luxurious extras like butler service and private yoga sessions. However, Astir Beach, with its crystal clear waters, is just a four-minute walk away, as is Vouliagmeni Beach, complete with volleyball courts and a childrens' play area. And, if you fancy heading into Athens to see the sights, then you can drive to the historic city in just half an hour.

Athenian Riviera

Sitting close to the northern tip of the isle of Kea, it's hard to imagine a more peaceful location for a Greek getaway. Indeed, you'll never tire of the views of the Ionian Sea enjoyed from the home's outdoor space, which also features a swimming pool and lots of space for alfresco dinners. The living quarters quite sensibly don't try to compete with these wonderful surroundings and are simple in style. The fact that there are two separate guest houses on the site might be handy for separate families or large friendship groups paying a visit, as well.

Seasoned Seawatcher

Bathrobes

Indulge in the ethereal ambiance that envelops Villa Forest, where tranquility and serenity converge. Nestled on a cliffside overlooking the azure sea, this sanctuary offers respite from the outside world. The gentle sea breeze and the rhythmic symphony of crashing waves create a soothing atmosphere, beckoning visitors to unwind and find solace. The vibrant hues of the surrounding flora infuse the air with a lively energy, harmonizing with the serene surroundings. Spread across two levels, its design seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape, immersing guests in an enchanting coastal experience...

Ethereal Sanctuary

Looking out over the Corinthian Gulf, sitting on the balcony at this stylish villa is like having an amphitheatre seat overlooking one of mother nature’s greatest shows. Especially at sunset. There’s a terrace for outdoor dining as misty mountains loom across the ocean, and a bench and chairs for cocktails on the lawn. 

Inside, it’s crisp white walls with sheer curtains that billow in the sea breeze. Driftwood accents throughout keep that beachy feel, but there’s something modern and sleek about the big, bright kitchen. Bedrooms are soothing spots to unwind, but the master bedroom cinches it with its private balcony overlooking the sparkling sea beyond.

In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute walk from the beach where crystalline shallows lap at a sandy shore. And, while there’s a shop and café a short walk away in Melissi village, the seaside resort town of Xylokastro with a selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets is a ten-minute drive.

Surrounded by fragrant pine trees and aromatic gardens, this homespun villa is instantly calming. Inside, natural materials and a collection of relaxed furnishings come together to create a sense of grounding. Plus, there’s everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay – a compact kitchen for whipping up Greek-inspired lunches and two cosy, fuss-free bedrooms that tempt extra-long lie-ins.

The living area opens onto a covered patio where you’ll spend most mornings tucking into breakfast at the dining table and sipping a coffee on the bench. When the temperature starts to rise, make a beeline for the private pool and float about in the cool water.

Spend afternoons snorkelling in the shallows of Limnonari Beach, a ten-minute drive away, or head into Skopelos town for its picturesque horseshoe harbour, family-run tavernas and unspoilt coastline. 

Fragrant Pine

Art Deco aficionados will adore this home on the Athenian riviera. Designed by a French architect in the 1930s, the special house has been modernised over the years but is still rich in original features. From the grand oak staircase to the terrazzo tiles in the hallway, it's a visual feast for nostalgic travellers.

And there's more to see in the gardens – that's right, there are two gardens. On the east side, you'll find a sun lounger-fringed swimming pool as well as a peaceful veranda. The west garden is home to a flourishing orange tree, which provides shade for the six-person dining table. Grill up a storm on the barbecue and spend all evening outdoors.

History buffs can't leave this area without visiting the Temple of Apollo at Corinth, fifteen minutes away by car. The limestone structure is perched on a rocky hill with views over the ancient city. But even closer to home, there are plenty of beaches, shops and tavernas to meet all of your holiday needs – you'll likely hear the Loutraki Waterfalls whispering as you stroll around the village.

The Greek Gatsby

Found next to Brooke Square in Skyros Town, this villa was built way back in 1892 and it still overflows with charm more than a century on. Much of this is down to the stunning view of the Aegean Sea that comes with the elevated position, which can be enjoyed in the garden, balcony or even out through the large windows that also bathe the space in natural light.

Some typically Skyrian architectural features have been retained — including a large patch of exposed rock in the dining room — but it's fair to say that the interior has been modernised over the years. This means that you'll find whitewashed walls, sleek bathrooms and a rather smart kitchen complete with an island.

Just two minutes' walk from the home, you'll find a pair of Museums, one devoted to archaeology and the other to ethnology and folklore. Skyros's whitewashed streets are pleasant to wander about aimlessly, but Magazia Beach is only a ten-minute walk for when you want a dip in the sea.


Poetic Beauty

Nestled on the edge of a cliff, close to Peloponnese's coastline, you'll find this smart villa. Tranquil and chic, it's the perfect place to switch off and enjoy exploring the Greek peninsula's beautiful landscapes and charming towns. 

Step inside, and you'll find a sophisticated space with a soothing colour scheme and plenty of natural textures. Pour a glass of Greek wine and kick back on the sofa as you plan your itinerary in these stylish surroundings. When you get hungry, you can cook your favourite dishes in the slick kitchen – or, head outside to the garden and light up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast as you admire the sea views. 

If you're craving some Vitamin Sea, it's easy to walk down to the local beach – you'll arrive at the sandy shoreline of Paralia Melissi within fifteen minutes. There are plenty of gorgeous towns to explore along Pelopenesse's coastline, so make sure you organise a road trip to discover some hidden coves and awe-inspiring maritime views. And, if you head inland, you can join some incredible hiking trails that will take you to rural villages and hilltop churches in the mountains. 

Peninsula Panorama

For a characterful, scenic stay on a staggeringly beautiful Greek island, choose this blue-and-white villa with mesmerising sea views. Flourishing olive and palm trees huddle around the two-bedroom home and its pool, providing that all-important privacy and seclusion you've been seeking.

When you're not sunbathing poolside or dining on the terrace, enjoy the mood-lifting aesthetic that's carried through the villa. It begins with the punchy blue shutters and continues with the technicolour textiles in the open living space. We're particularly fond of the Persian-style rugs scattered across the rooms, adding a homely and bohemian flair.

The picturesque port of Loutraki is just a fifteen-minute walk away. Watch fishing boats come and go as you sip coffee at a waterfront taverna. If you're up for a drive, Skopelos town is forty minutes away – pass through luscious landscapes on your way, peppered with red-roofed buildings and traditional churches. When you arrive, meander through colourful narrow streets lined with craft shops and tavernas, overlooking the azure-hued Aegean sea.

A Song to Sing

Villa Perimeno

Wake up to the crisp scent of the sea air, the sight of the beautiful, blue water of the Aegean and the soothing sound of the waves kissing the shore. It's a sensory gift that you never tire of receiving.

Once you've felt the magic of your surroundings, walk down one of the most idyllic stairways in the world and reach the golden sands of the beach. Serene and secluded, it feels like your own personal paradise on this glorious island.

After a day of sunbathing and splashing in the water, the charming villa is decorated in gorgeous seating areas. Taste the delicious bites of souvlaki, bread and hummus whilst you soak in the breathtaking views. Once sun sets on the sea, grab a bottle of wine to share as the sky turns from deep blue into a warm, dusty red.

Away from the luxury of the villa, the charming towns that form Skopelos are just moments away. Discover the enchanting tavernas for pretty spots to watch the island's sleepy lifestyle unfold.


Ocean Stairway

Outdoor Audio

Watch the sky change colours at this beautifully appointed villa overlooking the Aegean Sea. It combines traditional Cycladic architecture – most notably the stone walls and whitewashed exterior – with sleek and modern touches throughout the home. We particularly like the stylish chill-out and lounge spaces that simply call out for entertaining friendly get-togethers and family reunions. 

Encouraging indoor-outdoor living, there's an incredible sense of openness throughout the communal areas of the home when the balcony and patio doors are thrown open, inviting the calm sea breeze to enter in. We love the glossy furnishings, grey and blue colour palette and nautical decorative details that create a sophisticated yet light and beachy feel to the villa.

While we adore the bright and airy interiors, we reckon you'll be spending most of your time lazing the hours away outside on the expansive terrace, complete with a summer kitchen, sun loungers and enough comfortable seating for the entire group. Spend hot afternoons swimming in the pool and enjoying alfresco meals under the shaded pergola. Days end with a cocktail in the comfort of a hanging egg chair, watching the sunset over this achingly picturesque landscape. 

After a great night's sleep in the quiet bedrooms and waking up to soothing sea views for as far as the eye can see, pack your seaside essentials and take the five-minute drive to Otzais Beach. Stretch out on the soft sand before finding a seafront taverna to whet your appetite. 

Just After Sunset

Although this home's location on the Athenian Riveria means that there's a colossal amount to see and do nearby, the villa itself feels perfectly secluded — the sort of place where you can glide through the swimming pool, soak up the sunshine on a lounger or cook up a storm on the barbecue with nary a distraction.

The interior is typically Mediterranean in style, with tiled flooring, white walls and large glass windows to maximise upon the plentiful amounts of natural light. That being said, there are a few design touches that add a little luxury, such as the sculpture collection and glass dining table.

If you're partial to a day at the seaside, you're in luck — Limani Passa and the 500-metre long Pountazeza take ten and fifteen minutes to reach on foot respectively. The Temple of Poseidon is an eleven-minute drive down the coastline, as well.

This charming little home makes for a wonderful romantic break in Greece. You’ll find this villa just outside of Patitiri in the south of Alonnisos. Sweeping views combine with the boutique feel of the decor to make this home unique, and a stay here memorable for all the right reasons. 

Wake up and take in the beautiful views from the bedroom window before moving out to the terrace. As you drink your coffee and nibble on local pastries, plan how to spend your day. 

The lively port town of Patitiri is just ten minutes away by car. You could rent a boat and go sailing, or even take a coastal tour on a yacht. Steni Vala is a wonderful fishing village nearby – an eleven-minute drive. There you’ll find incredible seafood restaurants and a seascape dotted with fishing boats. The beach is just four minutes away in the car, or you can stroll there in twenty minutes and take in more of the villa’s lush surroundings. The restaurant and cafe at the beach serve excellent food so you can really make a day of it. 

An afternoon by the freshwater pool here is rewarded with glorious views and a pretty pergola to shelter under if you need a break from the sun. The covered dining area is lovely in the evening when the sun is setting. When the stars come out, take a seat on the terrace and spot constellations until the early hours.

Famed for being the filming location of the blockbuster musical hit ‘Mamma Mia,’ the island of Skopelos is every bit the natural wonderland the film depicted. Surrounded by mountains blanketed in pine forests and the turquoise of the Aegean never far away, stunning scenery is the name of the game here. 

One look at this gorgeous villa and there will be no asking voulez-vous – you’ll be enchanted from the moment you arrive. Inside, a sleek modern decor invites you to kick back and relax in the bright living area, while upstairs the two bedrooms offer a magical wake-up with their glorious hilly views and luxurious bedding. With three bathrooms here too, there’s no chance of an SOS when it comes to taking turns under the luxurious rainfall showers. 

Step outside to be met with a spectacular outdoor space – you’ll find time slipping through your fingers as you chill out on the sunbeds and while away sunny hours in the L-shaped infinity pool. As evening falls, fire up the barbecue and retreat to the pergola’s table for an alfresco feast, before finishing the night with a starlit soak in the hot tub. 

With a Sonos sound system to delight any dancing queen, as well as Greek toiletries and Netflix to enjoy, when all is said and done, you’re in for a blissful time. 

When it comes to exploring the local area, drive ten minutes to explore Skopelos Town and enjoy a day by the sea at Paralia Glifoneri (a ten-minute drive) or lovely Limnonari Beach (a fifteen-minute drive). Fans of Mamma Mia can visit the famous Agios Ioannis Church just under forty minutes away by car, while Panormos’ crystal clear bay is also fifteen minutes away by car.
