Pleione - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

A clean-cut contemporary sea-view villa with 22m-long infinity pool, direct sea access and easy strolling distance to tavernas, bars and cafés.

Discreetly embedded into the hillside just above the bay and harbour of Sivota, Pleione oozes style and seduces with its photogenic good looks. Its attractive, cleverly conceived design makes the most of the gorgeous views, while its prime position poses the perfect dilemma for guests: after a day's relaxation, should one stroll out for drinks and dinner or stay at home and enjoy Pleione's sense of privileged seclusion.

Inside: accommodation at Pleione is spread over a main house and a guesthouse, both of which are on one level. The design centres around four simple elements: clean, angular lines, pristine white walls inside and out, soothing grey floors that flow throughout, and banks of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.

The main house is divided into two parts. The first is home to a good-sized, luminous communal space with a contemporary kitchen, a central dining table and a comfortable living area with a large L-shaped sofa. Walls of sliding glass doors bring in the views over the pool and Sivota Bay while at the same time providing effortless access to the terraces.

Behind the kitchen, a bright, window-flanked corridor provides access to the second part of the main house, which is home to three bedrooms, a double and two double-twins. Each one has its own en-suite shower room (the double's also has a tub) and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors offering sea views and access to the terraces. The first two bedrooms are divided by and access a little terrace niche, home to an olive tree and an extension of the pool.

The guesthouse is situated a few metres up the hill to one side of the main house and is rendered private by a dividing wall built from local stone. Accessed from its own terrace, it comprises an open-plan living area with dining table and kitchen corner and a lovely sea-view bedroom with en-suite shower room.

Outside: al fresco pleasures at Pleione revolve around the remarkable 22m-long, L-shaped infinity pool, part of which cuts across the terrace and appears to run into the house. In this section there is a little sunbathing island and a Jacuzzi corner. The sea-view terrace that hosts the pool runs along the entire façade of the main house.

To one end of the pool is a well-furnished sitting area looking out to sea, while to the other is a covered lounge, practically an extension of the indoors, and a large dining table served by an in-built barbecue kitchen.

The guesthouse has its own panoramic sea-view terrace, which includes a refreshing plunge pool with swimming pump and cascade.

Last but not least, guests have use of a shared 10m-long jetty, located below the property and benefitting from private water and shore-power facilities

Pleione's sister property, Atlas, is located just down the hill. Every effort has been made to ensure the two properties have their privacy. Should you need more space for your group, why not rent both of them?

Pleione features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a small drop from the infinity edge so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools. You may also wish to know that the pool has a minimum depth of 1.6m.

Please note that there is no real shallow end in the pool, whose minimum depth is 2m.

Although this property is located within walking distance of some shops and restaurants, we strongly recommend that you hire a car.
