Nepenthe

Less than two kilometres from the waterfront tavernas of enchanting St. Stephano, this family villa is poised on the hillside overlooking the harbour, with haunting views of the horseshoe bay from its spacious rooms and sunny terraces. Surrounded by silver-leafed olive groves and approached via a fairly steep driveway, the villa exudes a sense of secluded privacy, while enjoying easy access to bars and nightlife in Kassiopi, and sailing and windsurfing from the beach at Avlaki. Equally appealing for families or groups of friends, Nepenthe has two double and two twin bedrooms on the top floor, all with air conditioning and en suite bath or shower room.The ground floor is occupied by a smart and well-equipped kitchen and an airy living room, with big sofas and a cool tiled floor. This opens on to the main terrace, which is comfortably furnished as an al fresco sitting/dining room; and steps lead down from here to the twelve metre infinity pool and poolside pergola. The house has a built-in barbecue and cook service could enhance the leisurely tempo.
