Perched on the west coastline of the island of Samos, this villa has a truly idyllic location and guests will surely pass many an hour transfixed by the views of the Aegean Sea and neighbouring Cycladic islands. The home itself lies on the humble side, with whitewashed walls, stone flooring and a minimalist approach to decoration. However, even a humble Greek villa has the power to bring joy to holidaymakers. Much of that is down to what lies outside. For starters, there's a swimming pool in which to cool off from the Mediterranean heat, as well as plenty of terraces and a covered outdoor kitchen for whipping up some cuisine to be enjoyed in the open air. Just fifty metres from the home is a secluded beach that's rarely found by others, but there are larger seaside spots a short drive away, too. The surrounding area is quiet with no big town close by, but there are numerous historic attractions on the island that make for a good day trip – The Heraion of Samos is fifty minutes' drive away, for instance.
