Secret of the Summit

This gorgeous villa will wrap you up in breathtaking views of some of Ithaca's most beautiful landscapes. You'll find yourself surrounded by the highest peak of Mount Neritos and the entrance to Vathy Port as you go for a dip in the private pool, or relax on one of the sun loungers and work on that perfect holiday tan. Those who are hoping to get remote work finished during their stay will be able to set themselves up comfortably at the dining table, as the large windows fill the indoor space with natural sunlight throughout the day. When it comes to lunch and dinner there is outdoor seating for alfresco dining – perfect for drinks at sunset or a home-cooked meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen.

From this splendid vantage point, you'll have all the most beautiful views without compromising the distance between yourself and said attractions and amenities. For any necessities, or if the urge to try some quality local cuisine hits you, you'll be just a short drive from local shops and restaurants in Vathy, the island's capital. You'll find Loutsa and Minimata beaches close by car, where you can relax on the golden shores while the kids play in the shallow waters. At the end of the day, this home gives you the best seat in the house when it comes to watching the sunset over the Ionian sea.
