Villa Gaia

With timber-decked terraces and uninterrupted sea views from its peaceful promontory, Villa Gaia certainly creates a sense of being afloat on the bay. Providing perfect privacy, on the outskirts of Pomos, the very contemporary house is built over three levels. The ground floor is home to a kitchen replete with modern appliances, and an open-plan living room with sitting and dining areas, satellite TV and a fireplace. Air-conditioned throughout, the villa’s upper level is occupied by three of the four en suite bedrooms, the master double boasting a Jacuzzi bath with views of the Med. In an intriguing position beneath the swimming pool, the fourth bedroom and an adjacent sauna are at lower garden level, both with large port-holes in the ceiling looking up to the water of the pool. With its swim-up bar stools and heated Jacuzzi, the infinity pool is the obvious focal point of the grounds, complemented by a covered dining terrace and built-in barbecue. And steps lead down from here to a private garden with access to the beach. The ultra-relaxing Villa Gaia is 21km from amenities in Polis.
