About the villa

Luxuriant mature and shady gardens surround this family villa, filled to capacity with 15 different types of fruit trees, flowering shrubs, palms, cypresses and a pond; and climbing up from the private jetty in a series of tiered terraces linked by stone stairways. Each terrace offers its own perspective on the bay below, one with a shaded dining table, another perfect for a quiet read, and the largest surrounding the private pool and replete with loungers and colourful planters. Within the welcoming villa, attractively furnished rooms are finished with a personal touch and include three bedrooms, each with air conditioning, en suite bath and/or shower, and doors to a terrace or balcony. Fitted in contemporary country style, the kitchen has a breakfast bar, dining table and doors to the terrace; while the airy sitting room is flooded with light from a full window-wall, and complete with a wood-burning stove for evenings in the cooler months. About 500m from local tavernas , and 3km from a bakery and mini-market at 3km, the villa is within 3km of Desimi beach and 6km from Nidri, though both could be accessed more pleasurably by boat from Kingfisher’s jetty.
