Saying goodbye to its old life as an olive press (dating back to 1850, we’ll have you know), this enchanting villa is absolutely charming and luxurious in equal measure. Beautifully restored traditional features have been tastefully brought into the modern day with class and character, from the olive press itself standing proudly at the entrance to welcome you indoors, old machinery that forms part of the dining room as though it's natural that it would be there, to cream stone walls, and even the original – and rather grand – wooden entrance door. The interiors are bright and tasteful and you can feel the tranquillity of the location and the home itself seep into your soul from the moment you step inside. The in-bedroom bathtub is our absolute favourite spot for a bit of quiet time to reflect. Soak in those views across the Albanian mountains reaching out to the coastline – all you need is a good book and a glass of bubbles. Spend your days enjoying the floral scent that hangs in the air from your beautiful garden as you swim in your private pool with the Greek sun warming your skin. At night, the exterior is beautifully lit, mirroring a starry night sky. Put on a delightful dinner spread in your lavish dining room after sunset for a truly memorable evening in this home which oozes class from every facet. Located within a very short drive or more generous walk, you can indulge in the local cuisine and even see those coastline views from the sand itself.
