Looking every bit like a sanctuary with rustic stone walls, bohemian flair and breathtaking views of the Pagasitic Gulf, this is the perfect getaway for couples or solo trips. The kitchen is small, but it has what you need to cobble together light bites to eat alfresco. Though there's enough space for three to occupy the studio, it might not feel the most private. There's a shared swimming pool, and Karnagio Beach is reachable by car. The location also sets you up to explore the natural beauty of the southern part of Pelion.

Stepping out to the private patio, you’ve got a table and chairs for sundowners and you can pad straight to the shared barbecue kitchen and hydrotherapy plunge pool.

Situated within a verdant six-acre olive grove (shared with three villas), this home has a wonderful setting. There’s a private terrace with a pool and Jacuzzi with the most amazing views over the sea. Inside, the traditional interiors here create a homely atmosphere. One thing to mention – the twin bedroom is on a mezzanine above the living space. Located in the South Pelion area of Greece, there’s plenty to explore. The village of Pinakates is worth a look, with its stone chapels and cobbled streets.

This large Greek villa sits on a private plot of land affording you a perfectly peaceful stay, complete with a grassy area for children to play in. Relax beside the pool in the warmth of the sunshine before slipping into the cooling waters of your private pool from which you can enjoy more of the stunning views. Take in your surroundings from three different terrace areas that are shaded by pergolas, read a good book from the comfort of a hammock or get some work done in the office space – just try not to get distracted by the amazing panoramic vista outside the window.
 
This home even offers a vegetable garden with organic, fresh produce and a fragrant herb garden – ensuring your meals here will always be home-grown, flavoursome and delicious. Why not take full advantage of the barbecue and stone pizza oven to cook alfresco in the evenings before dining outside with a view of the turquoise ocean?

If you do want to venture out for the day and head to the beach, it's just a twenty-minute drive away – or drive a little further to Volos and learn some history at the Archaeological Museum.

Views don’t get much better than these. This villa is perched on a sloping mountain, with Pagasitikos Bay spanning ahead. It’s a place to truly connect with nature, whether that’s by exploring on a mountain bike, savouring a coffee while taking in the view, or making lunch with your host’s homegrown vegetables and herbs. 

Having your own pool is one thing, but this hillside infinity pool is another thing entirely. Close the distance between you and the sea, swimming to the edge for unobstructed views. And on clear days (which really, is most days in Greece) you’ll see the dramatic mountains ahead, melting into the bay.

Let the hours pass by blissfully, swinging in the hammock, reading by the pool, or playing a game of cards on the patio, until dinnertime. Whip up homemade pizzas or Greek barbecued feasts with the outdoor stone baking oven.

There’s an authenticity to this home that isn’t apparent in all Greek villas. Inside, the cream walls and swaths of dark wood perfectly embody a traditional hillside home. It might not be the most luxurious, but it’s bursting with character. Embrace the authenticity and explore your location of Agios Vlasios, a small, ancient village, and other nearby towns. Despite being on a hillside, you’re never far from a beach – spend days on the soft, golden sands of the Pagasetic Gulf.

Located in the Greek Pelion region, this cliffside villa is perfectly set up for groups of friends and families looking to get away from it all. You're surrounded by the dramatic landscape of the mountain, so there'll be nothing to disturb you here but the gentle breeze rustling through the old fir trees and lush vegetation, ensuring a relaxing, stress-free stay. 

At this particular villa, you're well catered for when it comes to inviting alfresco areas – including several poolside sun loungers, a hammock and a summer kitchen, as well as three veranda terraces with a dining table overlooking the beautiful sea views in the distance. When dinnertime beckons, enjoy one last dip in your private pool before grilling locally sourced produce on the barbecue and feasting together under the shaded pergola. 

On the ground floor, you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been given to the traditional space – from the modern fireplace to the wood-framed sofa, basket chairs and stylish decor. It's the ideal spot to flop down with a good book or a cup of Greek coffee. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms with original wood-beamed ceilings and even space for working from home. Combining natural materials with contemporary interiors, we think it's a lovely villa to call home for a while. 

Head out to explore and in addition to the small towns nearby, the nearest sandy beach of Paralia Platanidia, boasting crystal-clear waters and picturesque shores, is just twenty-five minutes away by car.

Throws

Escape the island's crowds and discover the quiet coastlines and dramatic terrain of Greece's mainland peninsular instead at this hideaway nestled high in the hillsides of Pelion. Commanding the most astonishing views of the sea, and with a picture-perfect village just a short stroll away, settings don't get much more idyllic than this.

Savour long, lazy lunches beneath the pergola. Slope away to the hammock beneath the mulberry tree and lose yourself in a good book. Or beat the heat with a dip in the infinity pool. Wherever you choose to be, those views will be right there. 

Inside, while this home may not be the most luxurious in our portfolio, it brings all the rustic charm that you'd hope from a sleepy mountain village abode. Beneath the villa's exposed wooden rafters, bespoke carpentry and statement lighting fuse together for a refreshing touch of modernity. And there's everything you need to rustle up a bite to eat in the compact but well-equipped, modern kitchen.

When it's time for adventure, seek out the hiking trails lacing through the surrounding hillsides. Take an amble into the dreamy village of Agios Geogrios Nilia (seven minutes on foot) for a feast in its traditional tavernas. Or follow the winding mountain roads down through the clouds and chestnut forests to the sandy beaches (half an hour's drive).

Up, Up & Away

Escape the city buzz and unwind with stretching views of Pagasitikos Bay. In keeping with the local way of life, this home centres around outdoor living with its plunge pool and inviting pergola, perfect for all hours. Indoors, the practical workspace and open fireplace offer thoughtful touches for business and pleasure. After a hammock snooze under the mulberry tree, how about Greek refreshments in a nearby taverna? Even better, the mountain roads can lead you to beaches or Katafidi Waterfall.

Sweetness of Summer

Mini Bar

Perched right above the beautiful Toroneos Bay in Halkidiki, this stylish villa is the perfect getaway for two. Not only are panoramic views a given here, but with a private pool, breezy balcony and sunny terrace yours to enjoy, you'll be able to revel in the scenery morning, noon and night. Get the day started with an alfresco breakfast in the fresh air, then take it easy for the rest of the afternoon, lounging by the pool and swimming in the clear blue water. Come evening, share a bottle of wine on the balcony and watch the sunset before making your way inside to the minimal and sleek living space for some pre-bedtime telly.

Even better, this villa is part of a resort with a whole slew of activities to keep you busy, from bike riding and poolside yoga classes to massages, boat trips and snorkelling. The on-site restaurant means dinner is sorted, while the communal gym ensures you'll never miss a workout. And we can't forget about the exclusive beach just for resort residents. Private and serene, there's nothing better than laying on the sand and splashing in the waves on your very own stretch of the shore – sounds like the quintessential Grecian holiday to us.

Into the Silver Dawn

Satellite / Cable TV

Access to Beach

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. 

Beach House

Achingly beautiful, this private paradise sits high above Toroneos Bay so you can lie back and relax in the unspoiled natural surroundings and look out across the shimmering sea. 

Set on a resort, you'll have everything needed for an effortless stay, including your very own private beach section with reserved sunbeds and umbrellas, an all-day bar-restaurant for hearty breakfasts and sunset dinners. Alternatively, make a beeline for the on-site spa and indulge in relaxing massages and beauty treatments arranged through your hosts. 

And yet, with your own private pool, sprawling terrace and garden back at home, you've got the best of both worlds. Spend hot afternoons relaxing on a lounger and swimming in the pool or head down to the beach for a day of sand, sea and surf. 

Inside, you'll find a bright and breezy living space with whitewashed walls, modern furniture and abundant natural light – it's the perfect place to escape the midday heat. 

Head out to explore all of the nearby beaches along the Halkidiki coast and the charming village of Paliouri, just 2.5km away. You're a 13.4km drive from lively Chanioti too, for a change of scenery and an exciting little town.  

Alpha and Omega

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

Espresso Machine

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.

Part of a complex of suites in Skiathos, you’ll have everything you need here for a romantic retreat or relaxing break with a friend. Each villa is completely independent with its own entrance, so there’s no need to worry about running into other guests here. Featuring a private wooden deck, you’ll have your own pool, sun loungers and alfresco dining area, all facing the beautiful Aegean Sea. The island is known for its sandy beaches, and you’ll find a great one just 600 metres away, but if you’re a bit of a beach hopper you can catch a boat from the port to explore 68 others.

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. 

Seaside Triptych

Sitting atop of Toroneos Bay, this beautifully appointed villa offers all of the luxury perks of a five-star resort alongside private use of your own sea-facing infinity pool and deck area, so you can unwind and experience the Halkidiki coast however you please. 

Take it easy in the comfort of your villa – perhaps you'll swim a few leisurely laps before picking out a sun lounger to while away the afternoon, or flop down with a book on the shaded terrace. Inside, you'll find typically whitewashed walls, wood floors and homespun furniture that creates breezy, minimalist interiors. We particularly love the authentic Greek artwork adorning the walls as well as the Grecian urns, adding plenty of visual interest to the living space. 

While you could easily spend the entire day hanging out at home, we recommend you take a two-minute wander down to the soft sands and crystal-clear waters. You'll have everything needed for a relaxing beach day, including your very own private section with reserved sunbeds and parasols awaiting your arrival. 

Alternatively, explore the charming village of Paliouri, just 2.5km away or drive fifteen minutes to lively Chanioti for a change of scenery and an exciting little town with plenty of fantastic tavernas and quiant shops. After a day of sightseeing, ensure you book a massage or a beauty treatment back at the on-site spa to get that healthy holiday glow, before heading to the resort bar to watch the sunset with a chilled drink in hand.

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

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.

Nature's Secret

Private Parking

This delightful villa is part of a complex of eight homes in the beautiful village of Hanioti. There are shared facilities including a gym and indoor pool, but you’ll also have your own outdoor pool and garden to enjoy. The neighbouring villas are fairly close to this home so it’s not entirely private, but you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay in Greece. The best feature of this villa is undoubtedly the view – you’ll likely spend all of your time gazing out to sea here. If you can tear your gaze away, the nearest beach is just five minutes away. 

Luxury in the Hills

For total relaxation, look no further than this gorgeous villa located in the far south of the Kassandra Peninsula and overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean. 

Set within an award-winning resort, you can choose to cater for yourself or tuck into creative cuisine right by the water's edge in the on-site restaurant, order drinks to your sun lounger on the private beach, and take your pick from an extensive list of activities that includes wine tasting, scuba diving and everything in between

The villa's interior is elegant and neat, with clean lines and unblemished white walls surrounding a stylish interior decked out with a few well-chosen pieces – it's a definite case of quality over quantity.

Vast sliding doors ensure a seamless boundary between indoors and out, providing you with easy access to a gorgeous pool encircled by local plantlife for total privacy as you lay poolside with a good book.

Macramé

Balcony / Patio

Situated in Pefkochori, within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and tavernas, this home is designed for families, newlyweds and groups of friends. The abode is located in a complex with three other villas in close proximity, so there may be little privacy. Inside, space is tight for a group of ten, so the place is better suited for those who like to spend their time in the sunshine. Outside, there’s a pool and a well-kept garden with a terrace for both dining and relaxing. 

Grecian Gem

The Lyrebird's Nest

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.

Located in beautiful Halkidiki, this villa is ideal for a large family looking to spend time together surrounded by nature and with the beach within a short walk. Its modern interiors of clean lines and an expansive garden shaded by ancient pines make this home conducive to switching off from the rest of the world. Lie on one of the decadent loungers by the large private pool, or chill out in the fabulous sunken Jacuzzi. Children can tire themselves out on the basketball court and enjoy a movie on the full HD 150” projector. The whole family can get together for an alfresco meal cooked on the barbecue or make time to discover the excellent restaurants at Sani Marina.

Abstract Pine

Standing on the terrace of this lovely home, it’s difficult to look away from the view. The Aegean Sea sparkles in the sunlight, with neighbouring islands the only interruption to the seascape. This villa sits on a verdant hillside in sunny Skiathos and it’s an all-round winner. 

One glimpse at the outside area and it’s easy to see how you’ll spend your stay. Plunge into the pool first thing, then sit with a coffee and breakfast under the veranda. The views really are captivating, so don’t expect to be able to get much heavy reading done – we constantly found our gaze being pulled towards the sea. 

There are two beaches – Megali Ammos and Vassilias – within six minutes of the villa. We liked to stroll along mid-morning, which gave us the perfect excuse to shelter from the hottest sun in a taverna, sampling local seafood and crisp white wine for lunch. 

The town centre and its shops, bars and restaurants are just ten minutes away by car. History buffs in your group might like to drive eighteen minutes to Skiathos Castle. This medieval site is now a ruin but was once a key settlement on the island – the stone ruins look especially dramatic on the rugged coastline and the views are magnificent. 


Peach Hues & Blue Views

On the famous Halkidiki peninsula, this lavish villa sits within an exclusive resort with bags of amenities on its doorstep. This place is for those that like a little independence, like a full kitchen, living room and sundeck with a private swimming pool, but enjoy the convenience of an onsite gourmet restaurant and a private slice of sandy beach at their disposal. 

Out on the sundeck, there’s nothing but the cheep of birds in the trees and the trickle of the waterfall filling the pristine swimming pool. During the day, it’s all about lying on a lounger and soaking up the rays, but when the sun sets, the view is simply stunning with islands silhouetted against the ocean and sky. A corner wall of windows means you can enjoy this view from the kitchen while mixing some drinks for the group. The living room is a haven of modernity with a striking red chaise longue juxtaposed against the slate-grey sofa.

When it comes to exploring, you’ll find the resort is home to kids’ playparks, bars and a gourmet restaurant. Just 200 metres away you’ll find the soft-sanded beach lined with loungers and day beds for a day in the sun. 

Shore Leave

Netflix

Surrounded by the majesty of mountain and ocean views, this villa truly is a dream come true. This astounding Grecian location offers every luxury and comfort, and gives you the keys to a genuinely unforgettable visit.

Wake up early to catch a sublimely magical sunrise emerge over the shimmering horizon, before whiling the day away basking on the sun-baked lawn on plush sun loungers. In the evening, sizzle up a storm at the villa's private barbecue, before stepping out of the front gate and taking a leisurely, meandering stroll along the neighbouring beach.

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.

Sea Salt Cove

Located on the north side of Skiathos, this charming villa in the heart of a quiet olive grove is a relaxing place to call home. Just below is Paralia Megas Gialos, a hidden gem of a beach that's well-worth the rocky climb down. Five minutes away by car is Skiathos Town, an enchanting village where cosmopolitan eateries, trendy boutiques, lively clubs and chic cafes promise plenty of action. From ancient monasteries to glorious beaches, there's no doubt that this is an excellent place to experience all the island has to offer.

When you're not out exploring, chances are you'll be lounging by the private infinity pool and drinking in the views of the Aegean on the terrace. Inside, Grecian character – think stone exterior, white-washed walls, wooden ceilings – meets 21st-century comforts like a jacuzzi tub and fully-equipped kitchen to create a comfortable and captivating space. Even better, your hosts go above and beyond to make your stay extraordinary. Not only will they pick you up at the airport, but they'll greet you with welcome drinks on arrival, help organise tours of the nearby islands and monasteries and assist with planning activities like bike riding, hiking, and much more.

Mystic Breeze

Surrounded by olive trees with uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea, this low-slung villa is a soothing sanctuary. Inside, it’s rustic and laidback with lofty timber ceilings, exposed stone walls and a neutral colour scheme. Throw open the glass doors to let a gentle salt-tinged breeze float through the home as you put together a traditional breakfast in the uncluttered kitchen. 

Spend afternoons flitting between the pool and a lounger before slinking off for a quick cat nap in supremely comfortable bedrooms. If exploring is on the agenda, take the trip to Megas Gialos Beach and pick your way across the pebbles to the inviting crystal clear water. Later on, head into Skiathos for dinner in the charming old town and a drink by the peaceful harbour.

Bounty of Blossoms

Villa Perimeno

Sun Umbrellas

This gorgeous little villa apartment overlooks the glittering Aegean sea, and is perfect for those who want somewhere that's just as cosy as it is beautiful. Surrounded by spectacular views, you'll be rearing to explore Skiathos Island. Set in a complex of two villas, both bedrooms in this home have their own private entrances, with a common sitting and dining area and a sea view that will make you never want to look away. Enjoy home-cooked meals as you gaze out at the Aegean horizon, whether you whip up a small snack with the well-equipped kitchenette inside the living space or ask your host to deliver you some wonderful local meals to try. Although there is another villa in this complex, it has its own private pool so you'll have this one all to yourself. Go for a dip, rinse off with the outdoor shower and dry off on the sun loungers as the Greek sun beats down.

This home lends itself perfectly to those who are hoping to explore the beauty and magic of this island and the rest of the Sporades archipelago. There's plenty to do, from water sports at the beaches on the island's southern side where you can try your hand at paragliding and waterskiing, to hiking through the lush countryside and seeing sights you'll never forget. You may not be able to cook up any feasts at the villa, but you won't have to – you'll be close to some fantastic restaurants and bars, where you can discover your new favourite meal.

Cook your meals in the kitchen, where everything you could need has already been thought of, and choose between eating at the pretty dining table in the open-plan living room, or outside on the terrace. This home's most impressive feature, it's a private and beautifully furnished outside space with incredible sea views to the front – and a tucked-away spot where you'll find the hot tub.

Each bedroom has its own veranda, which makes for a private and peaceful spot to sip your morning coffee before heading out to explore. 

A trip to the Old Town is highly recommended. Wander around the maze of narrow alleyways and browse the array of unique shops and galleries, before heading to one of the harbour's waterfront restaurants for dinner. When you get home, take to the bar to mix a few cocktails, then sink into the sumptuous patio sofa to watch the sun set over the sparkling sea.

Tennis Court

Part of a pretty resort on the edge of Skopelos Town, this home is a great pick for groups of friends or families. It's composed of the main apartment and two studios – one of which has wheelchair access – meaning that all your loved ones can enjoy their own space and make some lasting memories together. 

Each of the living spaces has its own kitchen area, so your guests can have some independence and create their own schedules. Step outside to relax on the terrace with a fresh coffee in the morning, or a final sundowner come evening as you admire the fabulous views across the bay. You'll also have access to a sparkling swimming pool where you can cool off on hot days, and a nearby shared tennis court – it's perfect for practicing your serve. 

Your host runs a shuttle bus into the port, where you can stroll through the charming streets and stop off at local tavernas for freshly caught seafood. They will also provide four bikes for you to use, should you fancy exploring the rugged hillsides and olive groves on two wheels. And, if you're craving a day on the sand, then head to beautiful Stafilos Beach – it's just 4km away and has crystal clear waters to swim in.

Grecian getaways don’t get much better than at this idyllic Alonissos home. Picture stone walls, olive trees and breath-taking views of the Aegean Sea… Are you ready to pack your bags?

The outside space is spectacular. The pool area is entirely private thanks to pretty stone walls and a lush canopy of trees. Dive into the inviting water and relish the absolute peace and quiet of this lovely home – and that’s not to mention the views. The far-reaching panorama of sparkling blue sea stretches all the way to neighbouring Skopelos and takes in the rugged coast of beautiful Alonissos.  

The large verandas and terrace ensure there’s space for everyone in your group, so while someone is swimming laps in the pool, others might be eating cheese and olives or photographing the views. The master suite has its own kitchenette and hot tub, giving you all the room you need – there’s even a home cinema system ideal for a quiet night in. 

The villa is just fifteen minutes from Patitiri, a lively and cosmopolitan port town. Head there to dine in the evening, or to set out on a sailing session during the day. Much closer to home, Megali Ammos beach is just a one-minute walk from the villa. This secluded little beach is the cherry on top of this home – spend the day bobbing along in the sea and simply stroll along the path back home for dinner.  


Alonissos Oasis

Games Room

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.
