Perched on a hill overlooking Messinian bay, this sleek Greek villa boasts sweeping views of the breathtaking Peloponnesian landscape. Travel through ancient olive groves and lush pine fields to reach this halcyon home, where a private infinity pool and luminous living spaces await.

When you're not lounging poolside with the Grecian heat on your skin, hang out indoors and hit the air-con switch. Your hosts have opted for clean, contemporary decor that lets the outside in through floor-to-ceiling windows. Both of the sitting rooms and two double bedrooms look directly onto the expanse of sea, cradled by low hills on either side.

Behind the villa, you'll notice the impressive Mount Taygetos. The foot of this popular hiking route can be reached in a couple of hours – but it's not for the faint of heart, particularly in the height of summer. If you opt for an afternoon on the beach instead, no one will blame you. Your nearest include Foneas and Delfinia beaches.
