Set amongst the lovely pine woodland that tops the descent into the fishing village of Sami, this outstanding location offers superb views over Sami Bay with Ithaca in the far distance and the lovely lush hillsides embracing it on three sides. Electric gates ensure that stray members of the local goat herds don’t stray in to the grounds, which are well tended, planted with flowering shrubs and citrus trees and with a neatly mown lawn.

The light and spacious open plan living area of this stunning villa is furnished in an easy contemporary style with excellent quality modern sofa and chairs and a plasma TV and DVD player.  The dining area has a solid dark wood table with creamy leather chairs and the sleek Italian kitchen has an expanse of well-lit gleaming granite workspace, dishwasher, large fridge freezer and built-in full oven with ceramic hobs. From both the kitchen and the living area patio doors open to a wide covered dining terrace with those lovely panoramic views over the garden and swimming pool terrace down the valley towards Sami.

Beyond the covered terrace, the lovely tiled 8 x 4 m swimming pool (depth 0.8m x 1.5m) is surrounded by generous sunbathing terraces on two levels where you’ll also find a stone built barbecue house with an alternative outside dining area.

On the first floor, the two bedrooms each have smart ensuite bath or shower room and patio doors to its own private balcony where at night time, a myriad of lights both in Sami below and hillside villages twinkle. There is also a convenient third shower room on the ground floor.
