Surrounded by olive trees and with distant views of the Ionian Sea, you’ll feel like you’ve got away from it all at this contemporary villa. While it's perched in a peaceful spot, the home is just a short drive from many beaches and a choice of tavernas. If you’re travelling with young children, the shallow section of the swimming pool will be a welcome addition and cooking alfresco will be a breeze, thanks to the barbecue on the poolside terrace. That said, our favourite spot is the balcony – we can't resist those panoramas.

Home truths:
*The pool may only be available to use between April and October – please speak to your host for the exact opening and closing dates. Although it isn't fenced and children will need to be supervised at all times, there is a shallow section ideal for little ones.
*The ground-floor twin bedroom can be configured as a double if required. You’ll need to request this when booking.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease in this location. There's private parking available.
*The galley-style kitchen is on the smaller side. While it's well-equipped, it may feel too compact for cooking.
