About the villa
With stunning seascapes framed by rolling headlands and backed by the mountains of the mainland, Gallini basks on low slopes, enviably close to the water, its swimming pool jutting out to enjoy the coastal views from three sides. Behind it, a big gazebo houses a built-in barbecue and al fresco sitting and dining areas, and stone paved terraces are punctuated with raised flower beds and colourful shrubs. And overseeing it all, the villa nestles between mature trees, enjoying the views from its furnished veranda and upper floor balcony.Comfortably furnished in country style, the house is relaxed and relaxing. It has an open-plan living/dining room with double doors to the veranda, and each of the four bedrooms open on to outdoor space. A stroll down through the grounds leads to flat-rock bathing and a platform at the water’s edge, and from here it’s a short swim to a beach. On foot, Kerasia beach is about fifteen minutes away, and St Stephano’s harbour restaurants are even nearer.

St Stephano
Average weather
As you navigate the winding hill dotted with olive trees and beehives, St Stephano glimpsed far below looks every bit the archetypal Greek fishing village. Lining a horseshoe-shaped bay facing the Albanian mountains, it is a scattering of houses, a succession of tavernas, and a series of jetties, all set in a wooded amphitheatre dotted with elegant villas and cypress trees. It is striking, yet still has working fishing boats; a St Stephano holiday is a retreat of simple pleasures.
