Description The Sun On Your Shoulders: Xirokastello

Discover your own corner of paradise overlooking the Ionian sea. Equipped for outdoor dining, this home's private pool and balconies on the upstairs bedrooms make it great for groups who want fantastic views and alfresco living with some peace and quiet. The kitchen is a little on the smaller side, but you're only a short drive from some fantastic restaurants. You'll definitely want to hire a car for trips to Zante or Tsilivi, and the cosy Porto Zorro beach is an easy walk from your doorstep.

Home truths:
*There is space on the driveway here for one car – due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car
*You may need to bring your own high chair and cot here if travelling with little ones
*The pool is available from 8am to 10pm each day
*For guests with reduced mobility, there is a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom
*There are seven steps up to the front door
*At full capacity, there may not be enough seats for everyone at the dining table indoors
*There are rails rather than wardrobes in the bedrooms, so storage might be tight if you have a lot of clothes
*One of the double beds is made up of two single beds
