With the glistening waters of the Argolic Gulf and the looming landmass of Argolis on the horizon, plus olive groves and evergreen forest to either side, you couldn't ask for a better view than the one this villa enjoys.

As you would hope, there are plenty of ways to admire this panorama, whether it's while paddling in the swimming pool, dining on the terrace or catching some rays on one of the loungers.

Inside, there's a rustic feel to the design thanks to the stone walls and floor, as well as the terracotta tiling. When the sun goes down, what better way to end the day than lighting up one of the fireplaces and curling up on a leather sofa?

Although the villa certainly feels like it's in a secluded location, it's only eight minutes' drive to the seaside village of Porto Cheli, which offers a beach and a handful of restaurants. It's also easy to catch a ferry over to the nearby islands of Spetses and Hydra.

Home truths:
*The villa is best reached by car and has room to park on the driveway
*There's a small untended beach that can be reached from the house
*Concierge service, cleaning three times a week and a fresh supply of linen and towels three times a week are included in the price
*The villa is split across two floors, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
