Villa Retsina

For a tranquil holiday stay in Greece, four-bedroomed Villa Retsina is your go to. Thanks to its elevated position and peaceful setting on the quiet and private island of Diaporos, the luxurious villa boasts fantastic views of the sandy coastline below. Plus, this is the place to be for ooh-worthy sunsets! The villa is picture worthy too with its sleek likes and cube-shaped design. Don’t be fooled by the minimalist style though. Furnishings are comfortable and plush for a truly relaxing stay.

Inside the modern villa, you’ll find all the home comforts – a fully-equipped kitchen, two spacious sitting rooms (one looking to the natural gulf of Kryftos and the other one to the mountain of Athos), as well as plenty of places to sunbathe or relax in the shade. Spend your days lounging by your generously-sized swimming pool, reading on the serene terrace or cycling across the island. Discover hidden coves or must-see sights like the Holy Mountain, rising just over 2,000 metres from Halkidiki peninsula’s southern tip or the traditional Greek villages like Ornos Panagias where a picturesque harbour and local tavernas serving freshly-caught seafood.

And when you get back, the four equally comfortable en-suite bedrooms await. Choose from the three stylish bedrooms in the main villa, or there’s another bedroom in a separate studio space. Each room has a king or a queen-size bed, as well as superior quality linen for a peaceful night’s rest. There’s plenty of space to organise your holiday wardrobe in the separate clothes closets, while multi-jet showers, natural beauty products and soft towels, dressing gowns and slippers create a unique spa-like experience. Oh, and did we mention there's air conditioning throughout and a wine cellar too? You’re welcome. Villa Retsina packs in the benefits for a hassle-free holiday.

The villa benefits from being very close to pristine white sandy beaches with calm, turquoise water and there’s a private jetty with easy access to sailing boats. We recommend hopping on a boat and exploring the nearby smaller islands – ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving.
