THE VILLA Olive Mill villa is a fabulously appointed, authentic, country house with gold – standard service to match, while the meals prepared by its in-house Chef is a gourmet’s delight. This has turned it into a culinary and wine destination, while as from 2022 it is also a yoga retreat, offering additionally in-house massage sessions.
Overall the villa strikes the perfect balance between traditional elegance and modern comfort, where its in-house staff are on hand to ensure guests have a most relaxing stay, free of any hassle !
FULLY CATERED with 4 / 5 (double & twin) bedrooms & 4 / 5 bathrooms, this exceptional property enjoys a large, private, Tuscan style swimming pool, surrounded by a beautifully landscaped private garden adjacent to an ancestral, olive tree, estate dating back to the 16th c. and belonging since then to the same family. *
A superb skippered private motor–boat (for up to 10 passengers) is also at the disposal of guests (at an extra charge and requiring early booking, well prior to arrival). Furthermore, at almost walking distance from the villa (or 2 minutes by car) lies the child-friendly sandy beach TRAPEZAKI with its sea front restaurant 'Denis'.
Recently built, the villa has sleek interiors and is stylishly decorated in soothing natural tones giving it a fresh summer look. The spacious terrace, where guests can enjoy al fresco drinks & dinners under the stars, controls the views, offering panoramic views over undulating olive groves, all the way to the blue Ionian Sea.
Singled out by Conde Nast for its elegance and top notch service, the property totally charms guests of all ages. The personnel (not live in) is warm, particularly discrete and attentive, providing friendly, unobtrusive service, while sparing no effort to make the stay of guests a carefree delight. The experience with this villa is more like staying at a boutique hotel, but just with the people one has chosen to be surrounded by.
Upon arrival, guests are given an extensive list of dishes (including suggestions for kids) to choose their meals from. The Chef takes care of the shopping, cooking and kitchen cleaning with the help of her assistant, so all guests have to do is decide what they want to eat and then kick back and relax ! The cost of the chef’s services, who prepares breakfast, eventually snacks and 1 main meal per day, is INCLUDED in the nightly rate (guests only pay for the ingredients -drinks). Additionally, Yolanda, the Chef and house manager, can arrange a number of activities, from skippered motor-boat daily trips, kayaking, snorkeling, water skiing and jet skiing to in-house massage. Yoga classes and pilates at the Estate premises can also be arranged.
In conclusion, the place is an irresistible combination of nature, heritage and refinement as well as the absolute destination for families, couples, groups of friends, longing to relax and experience an off-the-beaten-track Greek island life at its best, in privacy and style !
* Within the estate, but on a separate plot of land, stands an impressively restored historic Olive Mill, now an olive museum. Guests may have the opportunity to visit and dine there, which some have described it as "a memorable evening and the absolute highlight" of their holiday!
