A Skipping Stone

On the beautiful island of Kea lies this charming, traditional-style villa built with locally sourced stone that boasts an irresistible infinity pool. Overlooking the infinite blues of the glittering Aegean, this home enjoys a fantastic waterfront location, with steps leading directly down to the lovely beach. Set on a huge plot, the home feels private and tranquil, providing the perfect place for a relaxing retreat into the unspoiled nature of this often-overlooked Greek Island gem. Here, you'll find yourself within easy reach of the town of Melissaki which, although somewhat sleepy, houses all the amenities you could need, whilst also being home to some truly wonderful local eateries, quaint and quintessentially Greek streets and laneways, as well as some spectacular beaches.

We love the sociable spaces of this home and think that the rustic stone detailing really brings the interior spaces to life. We also love the way it brings the outside in, inviting in plenty of glorious Greek sunshine and expansive sea views. Enjoy cooking up a feast of typically mezze dishes in the well-equipped country-style kitchen, before savouring the fruits of your labour either on the large dining table or (as would be our preference) out on the terrace, gazing out over both the swimming pool and the stunning sea beyond. There's even a little cocktail bar that seems to beckon as soon as the sun begins to dip lower and the sky fills with golden evening light.

Home truths:
*As this home is located along a dirt road, a 4x4 vehicle may come in handy but is not essential
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*This of course also goes for the steps that lead straight down to the sea
*Your host can provide a high chair for free upon request
*Pets may be considered in certain instances, please contact your host in advance to discuss this
