St Nicholas House

“This place is a real looker, marrying up some classic Mediterranean touches with a cool and contemporary feel.” Arriving here, it’s hard not to suppress a contented ‘ohh’. Because this villa tackles that tricky traditional-meets-new hurdle with aplomb. Exposed beams, local stone and wrought iron balustrades are mixed with contemporary furnishings and mod-cons. Great for extended families in need of space, this place is spread over three levels and is like two homes rolled into one. On the ground floor you've got two bedrooms, a bathroom and a self-contained lounge and kitchen. Head up to the first floor and you'll find the main living room-kitchen-dining area, along with a double bedroom and bathroom. Up on the second floor, meanwhile, there's a large bathroom with a glamorous corner bath and twin basins, not to mention the master bedroom with its elevated double bed. There's also a twin bedroom on this floor, styled very much with children in mind, which connects to a dayroom with video and board games. Décor-wise the villa's simple and uncomplicated with a touch of cool Mediterranean style - terracotta tiled floors and muslin drapes complement the buttermilk yellow and mint green walls. It's well kitted out too, with a microwave, dishwasher, DVD player and air-conditioning.
As to the location, the villa is tucked in a green and peaceful corner, cocooned by cypress, walnut and olive trees. Plus, it’s only about a five minute walk down to the Blue Flag-winning St Nicholas Beach - so you’ll be smoothing on the suncream in no time. Of course, you may just want to stay put and relax by your private pool. And the generous terrace is the perfect spot for meals en masse. All in all, this is a delightful property that’s just the ticket if you've got the family or a large group of friends in tow.
