An excellent villa in a splendid hillside setting, this beautiful property among the trees could tick all the boxes. Its peaceful and private location is within 1km of Nikiana’s shops, tavernas and pebble beach, with a café just a couple of minutes away. Its décor and furnishings are elegant, with beautiful works of art and comfort is not compromised. And its thoughtful design extends to the grounds, where a generously sized swimming pool is flanked by sunbathing lawns, and a long, gazebo-style terrace is stylishly furnished for al fresco dining and lounging. Within the house, the sleek kitchen includes a breakfast area; the monochrome living room has a fireplace, large screen TV and doors to the garden; and two en suite bedrooms, on the first floor, open on to an upper terrace with fabulous views of the bay. With air conditioning and TV in all five bedrooms, at lower ground level are two twin rooms, which share a bathroom and a kitchenette; and, offering extra privacy, a guest annexe is flexibly furnished for twin or double use. Villa Olivia’s very relaxing setting is just 5km from yacht-spotting restaurant tables on the waterfront of Nidri.
