Villa Dianaki exudes happiness and charm, and a sense of real Greece. This traditional style house with its stone walls clad in a profusion of bougainvillea sits in a lovely spot on a verdant hillside with superb views over the Ionian Sea.
On the ground floor is a large open plan living and dining area with well-equipped kitchen which includes washing machine and dishwasher. Terracotta tiled floors, splashes of colour and unique pieces of art give an artistic and homely feel to the property. French windows lead to a covered verandah that runs the length of the house with outdoor seating area.
The master bedroom is also on the ground floor. It has an ensuite bathroom with walk-in modern shower and bathtub. From the large windows, guests can enjoy the delightful views over the garden, pool and sea.
