Eremia

With airy, spacious accommodation spread over three floors, Eremia is decorated with a very contemporary palette of cool, effective colours. Large, comfortable sofas and king-size beds predominate, especially in the master bedroom, where a dream bed, a huge antique Indian four-poster, sets a glamorous tone. The master bedroom has the added attraction of a private sun terrace and outdoor Jacuzzi. A large, pleasingly colour-co-ordinated kitchen with indoor and outdoor dining areas adjoining, is an invitation to try out some Greek cooking, while other interests, active or passive, are amply met by the provision of a gym, sauna and a TV room. It is the art of outdoor living, however, that is so imaginatively practised at Eremia, with its broad terraces comfortably furnished with rattan sofas, and its magnificent pool area with attached outdoor dining pergola and barbecue area. The surroundings are beautifully finished off with terraced gardens where natural boulders provide a perfect home for many local rock plants. The villa lies midway between the glorious beach of Kerasia and the little harbour village of St Stephano, but it is accessed by an unmade road that starts in the village of Sinies, we therefore recommend hiring a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
