Kalithea

High standards of comfort are more than matched by sublime views from the swimming pool terrace, and easy access to the beach and a private jetty. This popular family villa has it all. Its hillsides scented with herbs and cypress trees and blessed with blissful vistas of this gorgeous corner of the Ionian, the Geni Peninsula tempts its guests with peace and privacy, nowhere more so than in the landscaped gardens of this lovely villa. A pool is the focal point, set with shimmering mosaic tiles in shades of blue and green, and surrounded by a sun terrace overlooking the sea. This view, of Skorpios and scattered tiny islets, can be enjoyed from almost every room in the elegantly furnished house.

The comfortable sitting /dining room, with its big leather sofas, opens on to a broad furnished balcony, and a paved barbecue area has a wood-burner oven. A cook service supplied by the maid is also available on request. In addition to the four bedrooms, Kalithea has a self-contained studio on the lower floor, adding useful flexibility to accommodation arrangements. A track from the villa leads to the beach, about a ten minute walk, and restaurants are a five minute drive from the villa.
