Exposed beams, local stone and wrought iron balustrades are mixed with contemporary furnishings and mod-cons.Great for extended families in need of space, this place is spread over three levels and is like two homes rolled into one.

Up on the second floor, meanwhile, there's a large bathroom with a glamorous corner bath and twin basins, not to mention the master bedroom with its elevated double bed. There's also a twin bedroom on this floor, styled very much with children in mind, which connects to a dayroom with video and board games.
Decor-wise the villa's simple and uncomplicated with a touch of cool Mediterranean style - terracotta tiled floors and muslin drapes complement the buttermilk yellow and mint green walls. It's well kitted out too, with a microwave, dishwasher, DVD player and air-conditioning.As to the location, the villa is tucked in a green and peaceful corner, cocooned by cypress, walnut and olive trees. Plus, it's only about a five minute walk down to the Blue Flag-winning St Nicholas Beach - so you'll be smoothing on the suncream in no time. Of course, you may just want to stay put and relax by your private pool. And the generous terrace is the perfect spot for meals en masse.
