Nestled in the Lampini countryside, this villa promises a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Comfortable for five people, just note that one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room at full occupancy. And while the traditional interiors may not be to everyone’s taste, the outdoor space is sure to be a hit with all. Enjoy alfresco dining, settle down on the sun-kissed terrace with your holiday read, or swim in the private pool, the choice is yours. When you’re keen to explore, Spili city is a mere 500 metres away, or you can take a car ride to the coast and visit Skinaria beach.
