Villa Leonidas

The star of the show is the super spacious Villa Leonidas, situated on the south coast of the island of Paros, part of the Cyclades in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. This ultra luxury two-storey detached villa is a spacious one hundred and ninety square metres, set in its own grounds with a private swimming pool and gardens. The villa enjoys uninterrupted sea views over the azure Aegean towards the sister island of Antiparos. Villa Leonidas has five spacious double bedrooms, and four bathrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, ideal for a large family or group of friends sharing.

The villa is part of a small complex made up of six unique detached properties, located in the valley of Petaloudes, in Glisadia on the southern coastline of the beautiful Greek island of Paros. These architect-designed properties are built in the traditional Cycladic style of whitewashed stone, on the slope of a large two-acre plus estate, set in an ancient olive grove. The villas have been purposely positioned to be protected from the north winds, and maximise those enchanting turquoise Aegean Sea views. The villa interiors are light and airy, furnished with contemporary pieces, with lots of natural light-coloured woods, and decorated in a palette of crisp cool whites and soft hues of blues, which gives them a classic beach house vibe. All the villas come with independent entrances, private parking for two cars, and complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout. Use of a shared fourteen metre by eight-metre sea view swimming pool, set in a generous five hundred square metre terrace, is included. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers and shady parasols, and there is an adjacent relaxing lounge and bar, and changing facilities too. The villas benefit from an on-site Concierge, who can arrange anything from yacht charters, daily boat trips, and sight-seeing tours, to in-house dining, restaurant reservations, and yoga and wellness therapies. The property can be booked in advance and by prior arrangement to host social events and the wedding of your dreams. Most importantly, the nearest family-friendly sandy beach is but a short drive away.

Villa Leonidas is set on its own grounds, surrounded by a stone wall, and tiered terraces. Enter the villa at the upper level, where you will discover a light and airy, spacious open planned luxury holiday home. The all-white sea view lounge can seat up to twelve guests, with two comfy sofas, one of which can be made into a bed to sleep two, matching armchairs, contemporary wooden coffee tables, a forty-two-inch flat screen smart television, and an open fire for those cooler months and evenings. The adjacent elegant sea-view dining area has a table that can seat up to ten guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances, a family-size fridge freezer, and a must have Nespresso coffee maker. A handy guest cloakroom completes this floor. Take the internal Cycladic staircase down the lower level where there are five superbly appointed double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bathroom, with floor-to-ceiling French doors that open onto the pool terrace. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a sea-view window. The third bedroom is an ensuite twin room. The fourth bedroom has a queen size bed, and a sea view, whilst the fifth has a king-size bed and a furnished balcony. These two bedrooms share a bathroom. There is also a computer desk, shared wardrobes, storage space, and a laundry room.

Villa Leonidas takes the prize when it comes to outside living space, there are six separate alfresco areas in which you can sunbathe, wine and dine, and watch the sun sets. The upper veranda wraps around the villa and has a built-in sunbed strategically positioned with views of Antiparos. There is a twelve-seater lounge and dining area, and hammock chairs in which you can laze away the days. The lower terrace is home to an impressive fourteen square metre infinity swimming pool, there is a Jacuzzi, and a sea view soft seating area.
