Dream of Eden

This villa on Naxos looks almost too good to be true – but we assure you, it's definitely as fabulous as it seems. With an excellent location on the island, a range of great amenities, and even some eco-credentials, we think this home will have you under its spell as soon as you arrive.

The interior space is a haven of calm, cloaked in crisp colours and natural textures – it's the perfect place to hang out and find some respite from the heat. The eco-conscious ethos here means there are photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters, along with recycling practices on-site. If you want to catch some rays, you can head onto the terrace to stretch out on a lounger, but if you prefer the shade then the cool terrace is the place for you. And, there's even a hot tub where you can enjoy a long, revitalising soak under the stars come evening.

The surrounding gardens are luscious and green, with trees and a pond – you can even visit the estate's vineyard and vegetable farm to pick up some local produce. From here, you can take a seven-minute drive down to Agios Georgios Beach for a day relaxing on the golden sand and swimming in the crystal clear water. And, if you want to savour some local seafood or sip a cocktail in one of the trendy bars, buzzing Naxos town is right there too.
