Sivota is well known for its hilly terrain and striking shores – a truly unique coastline that's perfect for hiking, as well as island hopping to nearby Corfu and Paxos. But with pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, you might not need to leave the mainland. And just a seven-minute drive from Sivota Marina, this villa might give you more reasons to stay put.

After arriving at this hillside abode, the first thing you’ll notice is the breathtaking coastal view. This home makes the most of its mountain location by allowing the scenery to extend out from its glass terraces. An infinity pool takes pride of place, with cushioned loungers at either side, where you can start with brunch in the morning, a swim in the afternoon, then cocktails as you watch glorious sunsets over the archipelago.

When you need a top-up, head in through huge glass, sliding doors and into a modern living space. Understated furniture, white walls, and a matte grey kitchen make the whole room feel bright and fresh. But the real purpose of this minimalist decor is to let the main attraction stand out from every room – that fantastic sea view.
