Cove & Affection

Whether you like to stay active during your holidays or you prefer to spend the bulk of your time horizontal, this dreamy villa found in a cove on the Argolic Gulf has you covered.

In the huge garden, guests get the use of a pair of courts for tennis and basketball respectively, as well as a swimming pool. Once you've exhausted these, the outdoor space leads directly to a sandy beach, which, due to its sheltered position, enjoys an even warmer microclimate without any wind. The host even offers watersports equipment for you to borrow, including a pair of standup paddleboards, four kayaks and snorkelling gear.

When you just want to take it easy, there's no shortage of quiet spots to put your feet up, including a leafy pergola and a terrace complete with a stone barbecue. If you're in need of ingredients, there's a vegetable garden that you're welcome to pick from should you arrive at the right time of the year.

The home's interior is bright and inviting, too. We can't think of a better way to finish off an activity-packed day than putting some logs into the wood-burner and getting cosy around the crackling flames. Alternatively, there's a handful of restaurants in Kiladi, a fishing village only ten minutes' drive.
