Enjoy a seafront stay in the impressive neoclassical Villa Evian, located on the coast of mainland northern Greece, facing the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. This beautiful two-storey villa has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests, ideal for a large family holiday or friend’s get-together. Villa Evian is set on the most verdant grounds, populated with mature trees, handsomely manicured, and a wild open space for your children to play. The saltwater swimming pool sits at the front of the villa that faces out to sea, simply cross the road, and you are on the beach.

The villa has its own private drive and parking spaces and comes with complimentary Wi-Fi throughout and air-conditioning in most rooms. The interiors have been furnished and decorated in a formal style with a neutral palette of beige and cream tones to complement the exterior Neoclassical architecture, whilst each of the seven bedrooms are themed to tell their own story.

Enter this imposing villa from the private drive, where you will find a light and airy sitting room, with two sets of floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the tiled terrace and gardens. There is a couple of comfy cream sofas, and matching armchairs, with a scattering of wooden coffee and side tables, under a crystal chandelier, facing a flat-screen television on one side and an open fireplace on the other. A fully equipped all-white kitchen has everything you need to cater for your holiday, including a fridge, freezer, cooker and hob, microwave and dishwasher. The adjacent dining area has an informal wicker-style table and eight chairs and a breakfast/cocktail bar, which is perfect for serving morning coffee and evening cocktails. On the ground floor, there is a spacious main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and three further double bedrooms with two shared family bathrooms. Take the stairs to the first floor, where you will find a second main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and two more double bedrooms with one shared bathroom. There is also a second kitchen on the first floor, with an adjacent formal dining area, home to a heavy wooden table and eight upholstered chairs, and a magnificent chandelier.

Step through the double doors leading from the living space onto the green grass of the villa grounds. In front of you is a large rectangular seawater swimming pool, with easy-entry roman steps, a ladder and a diving board at the deep end. Perfect for a few lengths before breakfast or for a cooling dip before afternoon tea on the lawn. The pool is surrounded by a paved area with comfortable sun loungers, where you can sunbathe and catch up on this year’s best seller. Cool down under the poolside shower. Relax in the shade on the soft cushioned seating area under the covered pergola, the ideal spot for a morning coffee or cocktails at sunset. Wind down with a snooze in one of the swing chairs or hammocks dotted around the garden. Have lunch under the shaded roof on the patio at a traditional tiled table and eight chairs. Take an evening stroll around the grounds amongst the mature tall trees that give it so much shade, smell the scented pines, and pick your fruit, before sitting down to dinner. Dine in the brick-built circular pergola in the middle of the garden, which is home to a round marble table which can seat up to ten guests on the wrought iron chairs; even better when its freshly grilled local delicacies cooked on the brick-built barbeque for dinner.
