This villa has wonderful countryside and sea views and is nestled within a private olive grove – how idyllic. We love the outdoor space with its pool and covered bar area – we'll have a G&T, thanks. Inside, the interiors are simple and fuss-free – okay, maybe the kitchen is slightly dated, but you'll probably be outside barbecuing most of the time. The main bedroom has a great balcony with sea vistas – the perfect spot for reading a book. When you feel like exploring, the home is a ten-minute drive from the charming village of Sisi.
