Arrive here and you'll immediately feel at home among the lush green hills and superb sea views. Everything about this grand villa shouts high quality and sophistication, and if the crystal-clear private pool isn't enough, it's just a twenty-minute walk to a pebble beach where the water is warm and welcoming. Back at the home, there's a traditional style to the place, with modern furnishings and a sociable layout to the living space. Bold wall art, beamed ceilings, chandeliers and dark wood shutters are the order of the day. The classic kitchen comes well equipped, including all the essentials for families, and every bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom and Bose speaker for that summer playlist. No one will be disappointed by their choice of room, but the first-floor master suite with its sea views is worth claiming if you can. Don your hiking boots and discover the area’s hidden coves or head further afield to some of the island's best-known sights. In the evenings, enjoy meals alfresco on the terrace – we're told the sunset from here is simply amazing.
