The Villa
Four bedroom villa sleeping up to 8 guests, with priavte pool
Set within the traditional village of Embrosneros, Villa Niki offers a warm and characterful retreat where stone, wood and soft light create a sense of calm from the moment you arrive. The villa is arranged across multiple levels, giving it a natural sense of flow while allowing different generations or groups to find their own rhythm.
Inside, the ground floor opens into a welcoming living space with comfortable seating and a large Smart TV, ideal for relaxed evenings together. This connects seamlessly to a fully equipped modern kitchen, while a second kitchen with a traditional wood oven adds a distinctly local touch and invites slow cooking and shared meals. A queen bedroom on this level, complete with an ensuite bathroom and sofa bed, works well for guests who prefer easy access, while an additional bathroom adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs, two generous bedrooms each offer their own ensuite bathroom and private outdoor space. One balcony is arranged for quiet lounging, the other for dining, making mornings and evenings feel naturally unhurried. A further bedroom sits on a separate level close to the pool, offering added privacy and a peaceful retreat within the wider property.
Outdoors, life centres around the private swimming pool, bordered by sun loungers and shaded seating. The pool can be heated during cooler months, extending the season and making early spring and autumn stays particularly appealing. A barbecue area with both electric and charcoal grills, a mini fridge and an outdoor dining space creates an easy setting for long evenings spent together.
Surrounded by village houses, open countryside and distant hills, Villa Niki blends comfort with authenticity. It is a place where mornings begin with coffee on the balcony, afternoons drift by poolside and evenings are shaped by shared meals and the quiet rhythm of village life.
- The villa is arranged across multiple levels, with stairs connecting different areas.
