This quaint villa promises a quiet, homely retreat if you’re visiting the beautiful island of Kea. Inside, the home is simple and comfortable, with pops of colour scattered throughout, but the outdoor space really hits all the right notes for us. Wrapped in lush green gardens with an abundance of flowers, it’s such a tranquil spot – it’s not hard to imagine spending many hours out here, enjoying the Greek sun warming your skin as floral scents drift on the air around you. Mornings will be well spent with your hands wrapped around a mug of coffee, settled on a lounger as you soak up the rays and the sea vistas that stretch before you. With the private pool taking centre stage in the outdoor space, it won’t be long before you’re enticed into the refreshing water to swim a few lazy lengths. As one of the closest islands to Athens, if you’re not exploring Kea itself or enjoying a beach day, you can hop on a boat from Lavrio port and find yourself in the Greek capital in an hour. However you spend your days, this island gem is sure to capture a little piece of your soul. Home truths: *There's private parking available here *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – for those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here *The upper-level bedroom is accessed directly from the stairs with no door, so privacy may be limited *This home may be better suited to early risers – there are sheer curtains in the bedrooms, so expect the natural light to wake you up *Weekly housekeeping is included here (which includes a linen change), along with pool maintenance and a welcome basket *The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
