Positioned on the seafront, you'll be just one minute away from the sandy shores of Livadi Beach. Picture it now – you're sitting with a cold drink in hand, listening to the waves of the Aegean Sea lapping forwards and backwards. Utter bliss. With panoramic sea views that also stretch across the traditional villa of Hora – there's no better spot to relax here than on the villa's covered terrace. Tuck into a delicious homemade meal in this sublime setting, or why not head out to one of the local tavernas? There is also a small outdoor private heated pool with a jacuzzi from which you can take in the views too. It's the perfect place to unplug and unwind for a spot of relaxation during the evening; meanwhile, as the sun shines down during the day, soak up some vitamin D from the sunbeds. Inside the sky blue and white colour palette reflects the surroundings of the villa with infinite charm – creating an ambience that soothes the soul and refreshes the mind in an instant.
