Away from the busy resorts but still just a twenty-five-minute walk from the nearest beach at Porto Koukla, this country home sits in lush, green gardens. On a road famous for its centuries-old olive groves, it's tucked away behind gates and boasts plenty of space for a large group. A traditional villa with covered terraces and balconies, it's a private spot with fabulous views. Inside, it's elegant and timeless, with character features like shuttered windows and an open fireplace. Cool, tiled floors in every room and plenty of picture windows give it an open, airy feeling and we love the first-floor living room – all the better for taking in those views. Perfect for a family, bedrooms are pretty and comfortable – some with their own balconies for enjoying a private cup of coffee each morning. Just a short walk from the nearest shops and taverna, there's a well-equipped kitchen inside but we think you're likely to want to cook outdoors as much as possible. Along with its mature gardens, this home's star attraction is a huge covered summer kitchen and dining terrace. Topped with a traditional terracotta tiled roof, it's somewhere you can barbecue and enjoy drinks together all evening. And best of all, it overlooks the home's private pool.
