This is the kind of holiday home you dream of for months. As you’re slogging away through work, your mind will drift to azure blue seas and the sunset turning the clear blue sky into a work of pastel-hued art. You’ll picture dozing by the pool as the sun warms the pale stone of the villa, turning it gold. You’ll imagine waking up to sunbeams on your pillow, streaming through a patio door. This dreamy home can be found in Neochori Mani, hugging the coast. The swimming pool faces out to the sea, lined by sun loungers, trees and lavender. The property has been designed to make the most of the beautiful sea views, whether you’re cooling off inside, sipping cocktails on the terrace, or waking up from a siesta. The terrace features a dining table under a pergola that’s just calling out for languid evenings spent at the table. Why not book a private chef to prepare a feast of local dishes? While you dine you can watch the sun sink lower in the sky, and stay out long after the stars have emerged. If you long to feel the sand beneath your toes, you need only drive eight minutes to Kalogria beach. This part of Greece has a seemingly endless supply of picture-perfect sandy beaches and quiet coves. You’ll never want to leave.
