Looking out over the picturesque village of Methoni in Messenia, Peloponnese, this striking villa looks like a dazzling sugar cube against the blue of the sky. One of three villas nestled amongst the surrounding scenic olive groves, you’ll have wide-sweeping views across the coast – best enjoyed from the main bedroom’s balcony at sunset – while the glistening private pool invites you to relax and unwind in its calming waters. Inside, a sleek, contemporary decor in cool shades of white and pops of blue amplifies the ample natural light pouring through the windows. And we love the attention to detail your hosts have given to make you feel right at home – like the welcome basket of locally sourced goodies including fresh olive oil from the groves surrounding your home, handpicked and pressed for your enjoyment. While you could easily while away the whole day in your sugar cube sanctuary, venture into Methoni to visit the Bourtzi of Methoni Castle (a six-minute drive) or sink your toes in the sand at Paralia Methonis, a five-minute drive away or twenty-five minutes away on foot.
