Petra

With its sturdy stone walls, traditional tiled roof and wooden-shuttered windows, this delightful villa looks, at first glance, like a rambling old farmhouse, encircled by olive shaded terraces and lavender lined pathways. Closer inspection reveals a chic, contemporary and very luxurious villa, accessed through a magnificent gate which originally graced an Indian palace, and offering the indulgence of chef (4^th July - 28^th August 2020), housekeeper and concierge services. A seventeen metre infinity pool and thirty metres of garden are all that separate the house from the water’s edge.

Looking over the pool to the sea, an al fresco living/dining room is as stylish and inviting as its indoor equivalent, and a pergola perched on the rocks makes a comfortable look-out point with plump cushioned seating and Moroccan lamps. Within the house are a gym, home cinema, and five airy bedrooms, with privacy for the sixth bedroom in a separate guest annexe. Though Villa Petra is peacefully and privately positioned, it is a short drive or twenty five minute walk from local shops, bars and tavernas.
