When you have a sea view at your disposal, the best homes make the most of it and that's certainly true of this villa overlooking the Ionian coastline. Located above the bay of Skala, this stone villa offers everything you could dream of and then some more. With epic sea views, luscious gardens, and a rustic interior, you're guaranteed to make some memories at this Greek oasis.

Inside, you’ll feel how much thought has gone into this retreat. Authentic touches are everywhere – original beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and Cotto-tiled floors – creating a sense of rural calm. Wake up in your own oasis - each bedroom is engulfed in tranquillity with large windows inviting in the sea breeze. The comfortable living space opens out to a natural stone terrace overlooking the bay for prime sea views – it’s bliss.

Countryside charisma carries through to the outside here, with a panoramic-viewed balcony and soft daybeds to lounge on – absorb the island sun and dive into your new summer read. The pristine pool with superior seascapes is a highlight, whilst the ping pong table is the perfect interval for your morning tanning session.

Walk five minutes for an afternoon at Meloi beach, the waters are shallow and crystal clear, then settle into one of the local seafront tavernas for a selection of seafood and a glass of crisp and citrusy Robola, the town centre is a five-minute drive. When you’re ready, head home for a stargazing session on the balcony – it’s the perfect way to end a day in paradise.
