Description Milestone: Pefki

There’s a lot to love about this photogenic stone villa on the island of Rhodes. To begin, it stands a mere 200 meters from the beach. This not only means fuss-free, glorious days by the sea, but also jaw-dropping ocean views from your pool terrace. Spend mornings swimming in the private pool, the default blue sky above your head. In the evenings, we predict gatherings around the shaded outdoor table. Let the Ouzo flow as you share a moussaka with your favourite people. Perfection.

Indoors, pale stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings bring a dose of character to the place. Add to that some more modern touches – a polished kitchen, tall glass doors that let in those vast sea views. The result: a real home-from-home. But better.

Peaceful Pefkos, with its golden sands and eateries-galore, is only half a kilometre away – so a car is by no means essential unless you'd like to explore the island. As we said, there's a lot to love.
